Brian And Jenn Johnson - Here Is Love Lyrics

Here Is Love presents the death of Christ through images of an ocean, a flood, and rivers that cannot be exhausted. The opening identifies Christ as the ransom whose blood was shed, then answers that sacrifice with enduring praise. At the crucifixion, mercy, grace, peace, and justice are pictured as meeting in abundance, giving the hymn a strong focus on redemption rather than sentiment alone.

The later lines turn from describing divine love to a prayer for faithful discipleship. The singer asks to receive that love, seek the kingdom, live for praise, and find freedom in Christ. These themes align closely with 1 John 4:10, where love is defined through God sending his Son as an atoning sacrifice, and Romans 5:8, which connects the death of Christ with divine love toward sinners. The language of peace and righteousness meeting also recalls Psalm 85:10. Together, these biblical echoes frame salvation as a gift of mercy that leads to worship, holiness, and a life ordered around the kingdom of God.
