Matt Redman - Here Is Love Lyrics

Here Is Love presents Christ’s crucifixion through images of immeasurable water: an ocean of love, a flood of kindness, opened fountains, and rivers of grace. The language emphasizes abundance, portraying the death of the Prince of Life as mercy freely poured toward a guilty world. Its questions invite lasting remembrance and praise, while the recurring ocean image makes divine love seem beyond human measurement.

The song also brings together truths that can appear opposed. Peace and justice meet at the cross, and the one named as Ransom is also the source of life. The channel expands that confession by declaring God’s love higher, wider, and truer than any rival. These themes align closely with the biblical witness that God demonstrates love through Christ’s death and offers reconciliation through him. Rather than dwelling only on sorrow at the crucifixion, the lyric moves toward gratitude, wonder, and eternal praise for grace that continues to flow from God’s saving action.
