## Title: “Exceeding, Abundant Love”

### Verse 1

For this cause I bow my knees

To the Father of our Lord,

Every family, earth and heaven,

Bears His name and lives restored.

From the riches of His glory

Let His Spirit now impart

Holy strength in hidden places,

In the **center** of my heart.

### Pre‑Chorus 1

Let the King of glory enter,

Make this heart Your dwelling place;

Root and ground me in Your mercy,

Stretch my soul to hold Your grace.

### Chorus

Exceeding, abundant,

Far above all we think or ask

Is the power of Christ within us,

More than words our minds be tasked

Oh the height and depth unmeasured,

Oh the length and breadth unknown;

Love that passes understanding,

Fills Your people, makes us Your own.

***

### Verse 2

Plant my life beside Your river,

Let my roots go deep and wide;

In the soil of Christ‑like kindness,

Keep me steady, sanctified.

With the saints of every nation,

Open eyes and hearts to see

All the vastness of Your mercy,

Love that reaches even me.

### Pre‑Chorus 2

Let the fullness of the Godhead

Shape the emptiness in me;

Till Your likeness shines within us,

Christ in us for all to see.

### Chorus

Exceeding, abundant,

Far above all we think or ask,

Is the power of Christ within us,

More than words our minds be tasked.

Oh the height and depth unmeasured,

Oh the length and breadth unknown;

Love that passes understanding,

Fills Your people, makes us Your own.

***

### Verse 3

Through the ages, through the ages,

Let Your church reflect Your praise;

Generation after generation

Tell the wonders of Your ways.

Till the last amen is spoken,

Till the last world’s course is run,

Be the glory of Your people,

Father, Spirit, Holy Son.

### Pre‑Chorus 3

Let our weakness be Your canvas,

Let Your power be our song;

You are able, always able,

To do more than we have longed.

### Double Chorus

Exceeding, abundant,

Far above all we think or ask,

Is the power of Christ within us,

More than words our minds be tasked

Oh the height and depth unmeasured,

Oh the length and breadth unknown;

Love that passes understanding,

Fills Your people, makes us Your own.

Exceeding, abundant,

To the God who reigns above,

Be the glory in Christ Jesus,

In His church, perfected love.

Through all ages, ever‑ending,

Every tribe and every tongue,

World without an end we praise You,

Amen, Lord, Your will be done.
