You saw me at my lowest moment
You saw me at my very worst
When I expected disappointment
Love was all I heard
My sin was deep
Your grace was deeper
My shame was wide
Your arms were wider
My guilt was great
Your love was greater still
You ran to me when I was naked
You clothed me in your righteousness
You pulled me from the depths of darkness
Into your light again
Into your light again
My sin was deep
Your grace was deeper
My shame was wide
Your arms were wider
My guilt was great
Your love was greater still
Your love
Your love
My sin was deep
Your grace was deeper
My shame was wide
Your arms were wider
My guilt was great
Your love was greater still
How deep how wide
How far how high
The love of my savior, the love of Christ
How deep how wide
How far how high
The love of my savior, the love of Christ
How deep how wide
How far how high
The love of my savior, the love of Christ
My sin was deep
Your grace was deeper
My shame was wide
Your arms were wider
My guilt was great
Your love was greater still
Your love
Your love
My sin was deep
Your grace was deeper
My shame was wide
Your arms were wider
My guilt was great
Your love was greater still
How deep how wide
How far how high
The love of my savior, the love of Christ
How deep how wide
How far how high
The love of my savior, the love of Christ
My sin was deep
Your grace was deeper
My shame was wide
Your arms were wider
My guilt was great
Your love was greater still
Your love was greater still

The song repeatedly contrasts human brokenness with the boundless grace and acceptance found in faith, underscoring that no distance or darkness can ever exceed the reach of Christ’s love.
The Power of Redemption
Through powerful imagery—being clothed in righteousness and pulled from darkness—Lake emphasizes the transformative power of redemption. The recurring lines about the depth, width, and height of the Savior’s love reinforce the limitless nature of grace, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys and the hope found in forgiveness.
