Tekster: Kate Campbell. There's A Wideness In God's Mercy.

There?s a wideness in God?s mercy
Like the wideness of the sea
There?s a kindness in his justice
Which is more than liberty

But we make His love too narrow
By false limits of our own
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal He will not own

For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of our mind
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind

There?s a wideness in God?s mercy
Like the wideness of the sea
