Chris Shalom + Wordbreed Worship Group - Infinite Love Lyrics
Lyrics
I am so glad that You are mindful of me
I am so glad that You love me
I am so glad that You are mindful of me
I am so glad that You love me
This is incredible
Your love is so deep and incredible
Much deeper than the oceans
Incredible, this is incredible
ooh-oooh-ooh
The cross was the proof
Of your infinite love for me
(For me, for me, for me)
The cross was the proof
Of your infinite love for me
(You didn't have to die for me)
The cross was the proof
Of your infinite love for me
I am so glad that You are mindful of me
I am so glad that You love me
You didn't have to wait for me
You saw my needs and reached out to me
Your infinite Love for me
Infinite love for me
The cross was the proof of your infinite love
Infinite love for me
The cross was the proof of your infinite love

Meaning & Inspiration
Chris Shalom + Wordbreed Worship Group delivered a profound spiritual reflection with their song "Infinite Love," released on February 3, 2022, as part of the album *I Delight*. This track immediately immerses the listener in an atmosphere of heartfelt gratitude, articulating a deeply personal appreciation for God's overwhelming and immeasurable affection. It’s a worship anthem that bypasses mere sentimentality to root itself firmly in the foundational truths of Christian faith, primarily highlighting the sacrificial act of the cross as the ultimate testament to divine love.
The core message of "Infinite Love" revolves around the believer’s awe and thankfulness for God's attentiveness and profound care. The opening lines, expressing gladness that God is "mindful of me" and "loves me," resonate deeply with the psalmist’s wonder in Psalm 8:4, asking, "what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?" This sentiment is echoed throughout Scripture, from God’s intimate knowledge of us in Psalm 139 to Peter’s encouragement in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast all anxieties on Him because He cares for us. The song beautifully captures this sense of being seen and cherished by a Creator who holds each individual in His thoughts, a truth further emphasized by the incredible depth of His love, described as "much deeper than the oceans." This imagery calls to mind Ephesians 3:18-19, which speaks of grasping "how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge."
At the heart of "Infinite Love" is the unwavering declaration that "the cross was the proof of your infinite love for me." This is the theological anchor of the song, drawing a direct line from God's character to His ultimate act of redemption. The cross is not merely a historical event but the definitive, undeniable evidence of a love that knows no bounds. This powerful statement immediately brings to mind John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life," and Romans 5:8, which profoundly states, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The song’s insistence that God "didn't have to die for me" underscores the unmerited grace inherent in this sacrifice. It wasn't an obligation but a voluntary outpouring of divine compassion, an act of pure, selfless generosity for those who could not save themselves.
The repetition of the phrase "You didn't have to wait for me, You saw my needs and reached out to me" further clarifies the proactive nature of God's love. It speaks to a God who doesn’t passively observe but actively intervenes, drawing near to humanity in its brokenness. This echoes passages like Isaiah 65:1, where God says, "I was sought by those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me." His love isn’t a reaction to our righteousness or worthiness, but a divine initiative, as captured in Ephesians 2:4-5: "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." "Infinite Love" serves as a powerful reminder of this profound truth, fostering an atmosphere of worship that moves beyond intellectual assent to a deep, experiential gratitude for God’s all-encompassing, redemptive love. It encourages every heart to recognize and revel in the boundless affection of a God who went to the ultimate length to prove His love.
