Lyrics
I know the end of the story
I come up from the wilderness, leaning on my Beloved
Your love is so high, Your love is so wide
Your love is so deep, Your love is so long
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
I know it's Your love, it's written on my heart
And there is not a flood that can quench this love
I know it's Your love, it's stronger than the grave
And death could never take me from this love
Death nor life nor angels nor powers
Present things nor things in the future
Height nor depth nor any created thing
Could separate me from Your love
It's Your strong love, Your strong love
It's Your strong love, Your strong love
It's Your strong love, Your strong love
It's Your strong love, Your strong love

Meaning & Inspiration
Strong Love gathers several biblical images into a confident confession of divine love. The opening picture of emerging from the wilderness while leaning on the beloved recalls the Song of Songs. Images of height, depth, width, and length then describe love beyond ordinary measure. The central refrain emphasizes permanence: floods cannot extinguish this love, the grave cannot overcome it, and no created power can sever the bond it establishes.
The language closely follows Song of Songs 8:6-7 in describing love as stronger than death and unquenched by many waters. It also echoes the dimensions of Christ’s love in Ephesians 3:18-19. The final lines draw most directly from Romans 8:38-39, naming death, life, spiritual powers, present and future realities, height, and depth as unable to separate believers from God’s love. The song therefore presents love as steadfast, immeasurable, and secure against every threat.
