Lyrics
You don’t withhold your love from us
Arms open wide upon a cross
You give no matter what the cost
Jesus we see You
All of these worlds your hands have made
A billion stars stretch out in space
These are just echoes of your grace
Jesus we see You
You are the generous giver
Your mercy overflows
Your blessing is a river
On and on and on it goes
You are an endless fountain
Your filling up my life
My heart must sing Your praises
Jesus You be glorified
Jesus you reach us in our pain
Your mercy meets us every day
Your love will never turn away
Jesus we see You
You are the generous giver
Your mercy overflows
Your blessing is a river
On and on and on it goes
You are an endless fountain
You're filling up my life
My heart must sing Your praises
Jesus You be glorified
On and on
You're so much better
You're so much kinder
Than anything we think You are
Your love is deeper
Your love is wider
Open our eyes to see you God
You are the generous giver
Your mercy overflows
Your blessing is a river
On and on and on it goes
You are an endless fountain
You're filling up my life
My heart must sing Your praises
Jesus You be glorified

Meaning & Inspiration
Generous Giver praises Jesus through images of open arms, overflowing mercy, a flowing river, and an endless fountain. The opening lines locate divine generosity at the cross, where love is given at great cost. Creation then becomes another sign of grace, with worlds and stars described as echoes of God’s goodness. These images move from the vastness of space to personal pain, presenting mercy as both immeasurable and near.
The chorus answers that generosity with praise and a desire for Jesus to be glorified. Its claims correspond with biblical descriptions of God as the giver of every good gift and of mercy that does not come to an end. The bridge also recognizes that human understanding can underestimate God’s kindness and love, so it becomes a prayer for clearer sight. Throughout the song, generosity is not limited to material blessing; it includes Christ’s sacrifice, daily mercy, steadfast love, and God’s sustaining presence.
