1. God’s love is as high as the heavens,
God’s love is as deep as the sea,
God’s love is for all kind of sinners,
God’s love is sufficient for me.

Refrain
God’s love, God’s love,
God’s love is sufficient for me, for me,
God’s love, God’s love,
God’s love is sufficient for me.

2. God’s love is as wide as creation,
God’s love is as boundless and free,
God’s love, it has brought my salvation,
God’s love is sufficient for me. [Refrain]

3. God’s love brought His Son down from Heaven,
God’s love let Him die on the tree;
God’s love, it can never be measured,
God’s love is sufficient for me. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
