Hymn Chords

114. There’s a Wideness

Bb        F7                 Bb
There’s a wideness, in God’s mercy,

Eb   Bb  F7   Bb   C  C7  F
Like the wide-ness of the sea;

F7        Bb       F7     Bb
There’s a kindness in His justice,

Gm    D#m A#   Gm   F7    A#
Which is  more than liber-ty.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
There’s a wideness, in God’s mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
There’s a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.

[Verse 2]
There is welcome, for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy, with the Savior,
There is healing in His blood.

[Verse 3]
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man’s mind.
And the heart of the Eternal,
Is most wonderfully kind.

[Verse 4]
If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine,
In the sweetness of our Lord.
