The Deepest Love is God's Love 
| Voicing: | | Mixed voices (SATB) with piano and oboe/flute accompaniment | | | Difficulty Level: | | Medium Adult | | Number of Pages: | | 12 | | Duration: | | 3:50 minutes | | | A rich, original text praising God's great love for His children has been set to a sometimes gentle and sometimes soaring combination of choir and piano, with accents beautifully added in an oboe/flute part. It was first performed late in 2011 by a large mixed chorus under Randy's direction, and is perhaps one of his most soul-penetrating compositions. The phrase "For Christ our King is Lord of hearts" is heard in both the first and last choruses.
Lyrics:
The Deepest Love is God's Love
The purest love is Thine;
Most precious love a child's love
And nearest to divine.
Oh fill me Lord with Thy love
To build Thy kingdom strong --
The aim of all creation,
Make love in me Thy song.
For Christ our King is Lord of hearts, His power swells within.
To reach the depths of God's own love Lord help this heart begin.
A home with love is treasured
Far more than wealth or fame.
From starry skies unmeasured
To mother's arms He came.
My earthly kin He's pleading
I succor and forgive.
He sees in man his greatness
To bring us home, He lives!
For Christ will make a fam'ly whole -- No joy to yet compare.
He binds us with His endless love; We seek His face in prayer.
With Heaven's love I conquer
And walk the narrow way.
As Jesus lived in mercy,
I seek to live today.
With quiet love, in meekness,
To give my self, my will,
So Jesus showed the Father's love,
His precious blood He spilled.
For Christ our King is Light of Lights, A Beacon on a hill.
Compassion was His ev'ry breath And His love shines on us still.
For Christ our King is Lord of hearts, His power swells within.
To reach the depths of God's own love Lord help this heart begin.
