Lyrics
Verse 1
He's got a big, big heart
It just keeps on giving
You can try but won't find the end
Cause His love has no limit
He's got a big, big heart
It breaks for the hurting
No matter how far you've been
His love won't stop searching
Chorus
There's space for another lost soul
In the heart of Jesus
There's room in His arms for one more
Oh, child believe it
He's reaching out, calling your name
With grace after grace after grace
There's space, there's space here
Verse 2
He's got a big, big heart
It loves like no other
Oh, what a faithful friend
Closer than a brother
Chorus
There's space for another lost soul
In the heart of Jesus
There's room in His arms for one more
Oh, child believe it
He's reaching out, calling your name
With grace after grace after grace
There's space, there's space here
Ohhhhh

Oh, how deep, how wide
No one could measure just
How deep, how wide
No one could measure
Oh, how deep, how wide
No one could measure just
How deep, how wide
No one
Chorus
There's space for another lost soul
In the heart of Jesus
There's room in His arms for one more

With grace after grace after grace after grace
There's space, there's space here

Meaning & Inspiration
This song celebrates the generosity of Christ's love through one simple image, a big, big heart that "just keeps on giving." The first verse says that His love has no limit and that the singer can look as long as they like without finding the end. It also pictures that heart as one that breaks for the hurting and keeps searching, however far someone has wandered.
The chorus offers an invitation, declaring that there is "space for another lost soul" and room in His arms for one more. The repeated phrase "grace after grace after grace" stresses that mercy keeps arriving. The second verse calls Jesus a faithful friend, "closer than a brother."
The bridge asks "how deep, how wide," and leaves the answer open because no one could measure it. That wording seems to echo Paul's prayer about the breadth and depth of Christ's love, though the song does not name the passage. The mood is warm and welcoming.
