PJ Morton - How Deep Is Your Love Lyrics
Lyrics
I know your eye's in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really need to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you, you know the door to my fairy soul
You're the light I'm my deepest darkest song
You're my savior without fault
And you may not think that I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really need to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really need to learn
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breaking us down, when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Meaning & Inspiration
PJ Morton’s "How Deep Is Your Love," released on February 14, 2020, as part of his album *The Piano Album*, is a profound exploration of divine love, presented with a sincerity that resonates deeply. While the title itself evokes questions about the magnitude of affection, Morton’s masterful rendition grounds this inquiry in a spiritual context, inviting listeners to contemplate the boundless and unwavering nature of God’s love. The song’s core message is a testament to an immense, sacrificial love, one that seeks no personal gain but offers everything freely. This echoes the very essence of God’s love for humanity, a love so deep it transcends human understanding. Scripture continually points to this unfathomable depth, as seen in 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." Morton’s contemplative delivery, stripped down to the essentials of piano and voice, allows the gravity of this truth to shine through, prompting introspection on how we, in turn, are called to love. The song seems to grapple with the immensity of this love, asking in a way that invites personal reflection: how truly vast is this love that is poured out so abundantly? This resonates with Romans 8:38-39, which assures us that "neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." The beauty of "How Deep Is Your Love" lies in its ability to serve as a spiritual prompt, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the foundational love that underpins our faith. It’s an invitation to consider the sacrifices made, the grace extended, and the enduring commitment that defines the relationship between the divine and the human, much like the enduring love described in 1 Corinthians 13:8, "Love never fails." Morton doesn’t just sing about love; he invites us to feel its presence and ponder its immeasurable capacity.
