Ephesians Three

O Church stand in awe,
O family of God,
The whole family in heaven and earth takes the name
Of the Father,
Of the only Son
Who rejoices to make us
His brethren.

As high as the heavens,
As deep the depths,
The love
     of the Lord
        is for
          His church.
As wide as the length
Of eternity,
O Church,
     know His love
        exceedingly.


O Church, know and see
This mystery,
That the wisdom of God that rules age to age,
That unites His nation,
That gathers His own
To joyfully join as one,
'Round His throne.


As high as the heavens,
As deep the depths,
The love
     of the Lord
       is for
         His church.
As wide as the length of eternity,
O Church
     know His love
       exceedingly.


O Church, bow your knee
To the Father of Christ
Who strengthens with might through His Spirit indwelling.
You are rooted and grounded,
Complete in His love,
You are filled beyond full
With power from above.

As high as the heavens,
As deep the depths,
The love
     of the Lord
       is for His church.
As wide as the length of eternity,
O Church
     know His love
       exceedingly.
