about

I’m not sure when Rob wrote this song, but I know it was one that he brought back with him when he returned from working with Acappella over the Summer of 1994. He recorded a demo of the song at their studio, and we all loved it from the first listen.
This song really carries on the message of the previous song, “Day by Day”, in that it talks about the love that Christ has for us. There is truly nothing that can separate us from the love of Jesus!

lyrics

We feel that he asks too much of us
He isn’t real… it’s all just a story
A man by the name of Jesus
Who can call down heaven’s glory
But it’s real… he was sent to die for us
God’s will, fulfilled in all it’s glory
This plan of a love victorious
By this man: pure love dying for me

CHORUS: His love is not miles away
His love is here today
Shown through the light that shines above
His everlasting blind love is not
Miles away
It’s in my heart to stay
A love that’s by my side
A love that cannot hide away from me

If he could count the stars above
Did he know my heart had shattered?
Because I’ve heard so much about his love
Of his word, and how the people gathered
To hear and receive what he would teach
It becomes so clear, so I lift my heart to reach
His love, full of mercy and his grace
Took me above all my sins and now I’m saved

BRIDGE: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Nothing is gonna separate me from my God
Not troubled times, persecution, famine or nakedness
Can keep him away from me
He’ll never leave me lonely

CHORUS 2x
