Written in 1964, Whitney Gleason penned a song that has touched the hearts of thousands during the past 50 years. Though a simple soprano lead is heard in the verses, the supporting parts break into a strong four-part harmony with the chorus. But least we miss the message of this spiritual song consider the words;
“Deeper than the ocean and wider than the sea,
is the grace of the Savior for sins like me;
Sent from the Father, and thrills my soul,
just to feel and to know, that His blood makes me whole…”
“His grace reaches me, yes, His grace reaches me, and twill (it will) last through eternity; Now I’m under His control and I’m happy in my soul, just to know that His grace reaches me.”
Is it true the message of God’s grace puts a thrill in your heart? Can you say you truly feel and know that the blood of Jesus makes you whole? As children of God we know and we believe that God’s grace is manifested in the sacrifice of Jesus. Would that we live our lives so as to demonstrate that belief.
The Cushing Gospel singers provide the arrangement above, which is sure to cause you to reflect upon the grace and the love of our God. His grace is deeper, higher, wider and brighter than we could ever image. Give a moment to think about His love, His grace and His gift of salvation.
