HOW LONG & HIGH & DEEP & WIDE

Listen to an MP3 of "HOW LONG & HIGH & DEEP & WIDE"
This song is almost entirely
Louisa's. I helped out a little bit in the bridge, gave some suggestions in
other parts, but most of the credit is due Louisa. I think it's a beautiful
song, and she has generously allowed me to post it here.
How long and high and deep and wide
How long and high and deep and wide
How long and high and deep and wide is this love
It's holding you, it's holding me
It's long, it's high, it's wide, it's deep
How long and high and deep and wide is this love
And it's holding on to you
And it's holding on to me
And it's coming for to carry us back home
We say we found a way to live
With so much take, so little give
If only we could just accept this love
We say we always do our best
But do we really pass the test
In this striving game we'll always lose without love
'Cause no matter how we try
Until we realize the inner cry
Can we receive this love, just simply let it in
There is a love that is so deep
That all it's promises will keep
A love willing to sacrifice
Even if it's means one's own life
Oh this love is so perfect
It has the power to resurrect
And create a new testament
A testament of love, of love
He'd heel our wounds and wash our feet
And comfort us, it'd be so sweet
He'd help us to accept this precious love
He'd always hear our every need
And fully bless the lives we lead
If only we could just receive this love
And He's calling out to you
And He's calling out to me
And He's coming for to carry us back home
And He's coming for to carry us back home
And He's coming for to carry us back home
And He's coming for to carry us back home
