Lyrics
Chorus
Your love will last forever
It's like a mighty river
That flows and flows forever
Never stopping
Your awesome love protects me
When I sin Your love corrects me
You're faithful to direct me
Always to Your love
Verse 1
And when I think of all You've done
There's no love greater than this
You freely gave Your precious Son
To die for all my sins
Verse 2
And when I choose to disobey
You lead me back to Your truth
You show the fullness of Your love
By making me like You

Meaning & Inspiration
"Your Love" centers on the enduring, corrective nature of God's love, comparing it to a river that never stops flowing. Its chorus pairs comfort with correction, describing that love as both protective during difficulty and disciplining when the singer sins, framing correction as an expression of care rather than punishment.
The first verse grounds that claim in a specific act, naming the giving of God's Son as proof that no greater love exists, tying the song's abstract description of love to a concrete sacrifice. The second verse turns to personal failure, describing disobedience met not with rejection but with being led back toward truth, and casting spiritual transformation as evidence of love's fullness at work.
Written in a straightforward contemporary worship style, the song moves between declaration and testimony, using simple, repeatable language suited to congregational singing. Its structure returns twice to the same central image, love as a mighty, unstoppable river, reinforcing the song's claim that God's love remains constant despite ongoing human failure.
