The theme song from the Grace Gospel Fellowship's 2012 Family Bible Conference, this is a joyful ballad celebrating Jesus' work of redemption with the imagery of a seed falling to the ground and being given life.
lyrics
1. Before You I was a seed on the wind- drifting, unsure of the future.
Before You I was an enemy with no friend,
But that was before You.
Then the wind of your Spirit drew me down to fall on the earth.
You planted me down into your truth to give me a new birth .
PRE-CHORUS
You gave me a new heart , You gave me a new life ,
You gave me a new start , You gave me a new sight .
You gave me a real hope , You filled me with your might .
Now I'm springing up into your light !
CHORUS
Now that I'm rooted and grounded in Jesus,
Lord, I'm gonna walk with You.
Since I've been built up and established in your love,
Lord, I'm gonna love like You .
Show me how wide, show me how long
is the love of Christ, is the love of Christ.
I want to know how high, I want to know how deep
is your love, oh God, is your love, oh God.
2. I thank You; Jesus, you died on the cross for me.
You are my redemption.
I thank You. You give me victory over sin!
Jesus, I thank You.
Now I pray that your Spirit fill me up. Fill me with You.
Help me to grow in pow'r and love so I can bear fruit.
BRIDGE
Just how wide is your love, Jesus, Jesus?
Just how high is your love, Jesus, Jesus?
Show me how wide, show me how long
is the love of Christ, is the love of Christ.
I want to know how high, I want to know how deep
is your love, oh God, is your love, oh God.
