Lyrics
Nothing can tear us from
The grip of His mighty love
We've only glimpsed, His vast affection
Heard whispers of, His heart and passion
It's pouring down
His love is deep, His love is wide, and it covers us
His love is fierce, His love is strong, it is furious
His love is sweet, His love is wild, and it's waking hearts to life
The Father loves and sends His son
The Son lays down His life for all
He lavishes His love upon us
He calls us now, His sons and daughters
He's reaching out
His love is deep, His love is wide, and it covers us
His love is fierce, His love is strong, it is furious
His love is sweet, His love is wild, and it's waking hearts to life
His love is deep, His love is wide, and it covers us
His love is fierce, His love is strong, it is furious
His love is sweet, His love is wild, and it's waking hearts to life
His love is deep, His love is wide, and it covers us
His love is fierce, His love is strong, it is furious
His love is sweet, His love is wild, and it's waking hearts to life
His love is deep, His love is wide, and it covers us
His love is fierce, His love is strong, it is furious
His love is sweet, His love is wild, and it's waking hearts to life
His love is deep, His love is wide, and it covers us
His love is fierce, His love is strong, it is furious!
His love is sweet, His love is wild, and it's waking hearts to life
Your love is deep, Your love is wide, and it covers us
Your love is fierce, Your love is strong, it is furious
Your love is sweet, Your love is wild, and it's waking hearts to life
Your love is deep, Your love is wide, and it covers us
Your love is fierce, Your love is strong, it is furious
Your love is sweet, Your love is wild, and it's waking hearts to life
Waking, waking, awaking, awaking
You're awakening, You're awakening
Hearts to life, hearts to life, hearts to life
Oh Lord, You're awakening
Oh, You are pouring out
Your love

Meaning & Inspiration
“Furious” centers on the vast, active love of God. The opening image of a secure grip presents that love as steady and protective, while the repeated words “deep,” “wide,” “fierce,” and “wild” express its immeasurable scope and energy. The chorus does not treat divine love as an abstract idea; it describes a love that covers, reaches, and awakens.
The second verse ties that love to the Father’s gift of the Son and to the Son’s self-giving sacrifice. That movement from the Father’s initiative to the adoption of sons and daughters echoes the New Testament’s language about God’s family. As the song shifts from “His love” to “Your love,” the confession becomes more direct, ending in an expectant picture of hearts being called to life.
