Verse 1
If you could know the breadth between (Eph. 3:18)
A holy God and sinful man (Rom. 3:23)
A chasm we could never cross (Isa. 59:2)
That only God Himself could span (Col. 1:21-22)
Verse 2
If you could know the length He went (Eph. 3:18)
From Heaven’s joy to human tears (Phil. 2:6-8)
From splendor to a crown of thorns (Matt. 27:29, Mark 15:17, John 19:2-5)
From angels’ praise to mocking jeers (Isa. 53:3, Matt. 27:29-31, Matt. 27:41, Mark 15:20, Mark 15:31, Luke 22:63-65, Luke 23:11, Luke 23:36, Heb. 12:2)
Chorus
Then you would know a love so vast
It spans from here to Paradise
The breadth and length and depth and height (Eph. 3:18)
Then you would know the love of Christ (Eph. 3:19)
Verse 3
If you could know the depth of sin (Eph. 3:18)
And see the havoc it has sown (Rom. 6:23)
The darkest secrets, vilest crimes
He took from us to make His own (Isa. 53:6, II Cor. 5:21, I Pet. 2:24)
Repeat chorus
Verse 4
If you could know the heights of life (Eph. 3:18)
That flow through resurrected veins
Once we have traded earthly dust (I Cor. 15:42-44, I Cor. 15:52-54)
For crowns of glory that remain (I Pet. 5:4)
Repeat chorus
