New MultiTrack – Contemporary hymn by Graham Kendrick

 

We’ve added a wonderful new song to our library of MultiTracks – it’s a contemporary hymn, written by our friend Graham Kendrick and is called The Sailor’s Song – Oh The Deep Deep Love of Jesus.

As well as a MultiTrack, it’s also available as MultiTrack Pro Wav stems (for Ableton users).

The song borrows lines from the old hymn Oh The Deep Deep Love of Jesus. You can listen to a recording of the song in the YouTube clip below.

Here is a link to the piano score for the song.

The Sailor’s Song – Graham Kendrick

Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Shore-less, boundless, full and free;
Empty cross and tomb proclaiming
God, my Father’s love for me.
And when storms of life are raging;
Home and loved ones far away;
I will listen for the voice that
Calmed the waves on Galilee.
Chorus
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Vast unmeasured boundless free;
Deeper than the deepest ocean
Is my Saviour’s love for me.

Through the long, cold nights of waiting
Or the weary work-long day,
One who made the star-lit heavens
Travels in the boat with me.
Bridge
Though it seems at times He’s sleeping
While the towering waters rage,
Everlasting arms surround me
Always, always.
Friend of mine, yes friend of sinners,
Teach me your befriending love –
Like a current through me flowing
From the Father’s heart above.
