Verso 1

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea
There's a kindness in His justice
That can set a prisoner free
There is no place
Where our sorrows
Are more felt
Than on the throne
No failure is too great
That it cannot be atoned

Coro

There's welcome for the sinner
So there's room
For you and me
There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea

Verso 2

For the love of God is broader
Than our minds can understand
And the heart of the Eternal
Won't refuse a broken man
Was there ever a kinder Shepherd
Half so gentle half so sweet
Why would anybody wander
From a love so true so deep

Coro

There's welcome for the sinner
So there's room
For you and me
There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea

Puente

Oh we make His love so narrow
By the limits of our own
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal He will not own

Coro

There's welcome for the sinner
So there's room
For you and me
There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea

Repetir

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea
