Lyrics
Verse 1
In the beginning You were singing, in the end you'll still be singing over me
In this moment You're right beside me, ev'rywhere You're in the air that I breathe
Chorus 1
You are an endless ocean a bottomless sea
You are an endless ocean a bottomless sea
Verse 2
In my sin You kept loving, there's no end to Your forgiveness and mercy
Ev'ry morning You keep coming, the waves of Your affection they keep washing over me
Chorus 2
You are an endless ocean a bottomless sea
Verse 3
All those angels they are swimming, in this ocean and they still can find no shore
Day and night night and day, and they keep seeing new sides of Your face
Chorus 3
You are an endless ocean a bottomless sea
Chorus 4
You are an endless ocean You're a bottomless sea
Bridge 1
Oh Oh
Bridge 2
There's no end to the affection You have for me
Ending
'Cause You are an endless ocean a bottomless sea

Meaning & Inspiration
“Endless Ocean” uses the image of a boundless sea to describe the immeasurable reach of God’s love, mercy, and presence. Its opening stretches from the beginning to the end, yet keeps the focus personal: God remains near in the present moment and as close as the air being breathed. The ocean metaphor then carries the central confession, portraying divine affection as something without a visible shore or discoverable bottom.
The second verse places that affection beside sin, forgiveness, and mercy. Morning after morning, grace arrives like waves washing over the singer, an image that closely suits biblical language about mercies renewed each day. The final verse widens the scene to angels who continually behold new aspects of God’s glory. Day-and-night repetition gives the worship a sense of unceasing wonder. Rather than attempting to define God fully, the song rests in holy mystery: forgiveness cannot be exhausted, divine presence cannot be escaped, and God’s loving care cannot be measured.
