The lyrics for Here is Love come from 2 Welsh hymn writers: William Rees and William Williams. I tweaked a few lines here and there and added a coda
lyrics
Verse 1:
Here is love, vast as the ocean,
Loving-kindness as the flood;
When the Prince of Life, our ransom.
Shed for us His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten
Throughout heaven's eternal days.
Verse 2:
On the mount of crucifixion,
Fountains opened deep and wide.
Through the floodgates of God's mercy,
Flowed a vast & gracious tide.
Grace and love, like mighty rivers,
Poured incessant from above.
Heav'n's peace and perfect justice,
Kissed a guilty world in love.
Verse 3:
Let me, all Your love accepting,
Love You, ever all my days.
Let me seek Your kingdom only,
And my life be to Your praise.
You alone shall be my glory,
Nothing in this world I see.
You have cleansed and sanctified me,
You alone have set me free.
Verse 4:
In Your truth you will direct me,
By Your Spirit, through Your word,
And Your grace my need is meeting,
As I trust in You, my Lord.
From your fullness You are pouring,
Your great love and power in me;
Without measure, full and boundless,
Such a wondrous mystery.
Coda:
Amazing love,
That You would give Your life to save us.
Unending love,
Flowing from Your heart forevermore. (repeat)

I suppose I am slightly biased as it is my very talented and lovely Son Andy Green and wonderful friend Dave Woodman who have made this fabulous album together.
However, despite this I love the unique sound of the dulcimer and the beautiful music so divinely put together creating an album that I will play often to soothe and thrill me when I need it most. Thank you . Linda Bond
