Lyrics

Jesus’ love is very wonderful
Jesus’ love is very wonderful,
Jesus’ love is very wonderful,
Oh, wonderful love!


It’s so high you can’t get over it,
So low you can’t get under it,
So wide you can’t get round it,
Oh, wonderful love!


Jesus’ love is very wonderful
Jesus’ love is very wonderful,
Jesus’ love is very wonderful,
Oh, wonderful love!


It’s so high you can’t get over it,
So low you can’t get under it,
So wide you can’t get round it,
Oh, wonderful love!

Meaning & Inspiration

Jesus Love is Very Wonderful celebrates the immeasurable extent of Christ’s love through language suited to children’s singing. The repeated description of that love as high, low, and wide turns an abstract truth into a set of vivid spatial images. Its short lines and recurring refrain keep the message clear: the love associated with Jesus exceeds every boundary imagined in the song.

The imagery has a close thematic connection to Ephesians 3:18-19, where Paul speaks of grasping the breadth, length, height, and depth of Christ’s love while also calling it a love that surpasses knowledge. The song simplifies that expansive biblical picture without turning it into a claim about physical distance. Repetition serves as its main teaching device, returning several times to wonder rather than offering a detailed narrative. As a children’s gospel song, it centers on one accessible confession and gives young singers language for praising a love presented as vast, dependable, and beyond ordinary measurement.
