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
