Lyrics
Simple love displayed for me
Simple love revealed on Calvary
Simple love take me
Simple love convinces me
That neither death nor life
Nor angel or demon
Not present or future
Nor any power
Not height nor depth
Nor anything in creation
Can separate me from You

Meaning & Inspiration
This short worship song centers on one phrase, "Simple love," and ties it to the cross. The opening lines say that this love was "displayed for me" and "revealed on Calvary," presenting the crucifixion as the clearest picture of God's care for the individual singer.
The second stanza follows the wording of Romans 8 almost point for point. It lists death, life, angels, demons, present, future, powers, height, depth, and "anything in creation," and concludes that none of it "can separate me from You." The song works as a personal restatement of Paul's confidence in the apostle's letter, set to a gentle and repeatable form.
Its brevity makes it suitable for quiet moments of reflection, where the singer simply asks to be taken by that love and to be convinced of it. The lyrics do not add narrative detail, so the meaning rests on the cross and on the biblical list of things that cannot sever believers from God.
