18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, 19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:18-19 WEB
37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Love Magnificent Lyrics
A million stars illuminate the skies As shepherds watched their flock of sheep by night Bethlehem of old, a prophecy foretold There God’s incarnate Word took on flesh A multitude of heavenly host praised God of heaven and earth For unto us is born, the Saviour of the world Love, magnificent love Jesus, You came, You dwelled with us Everlasting God and King Yet You gave Your everything No other worthy of outstanding praise Love, magnificent love Jesus, You said, peace be on earth Star of hope and majesty Yet You came to set me free I love because You first loved me Darkness fell across the barren plain As heaven watched, the Son gave up His strength The innocent became, the Lamb who took my shame No greater love than this for you and me Lord, lead me to realise the depth, width Height and greatness of Your magnificent love Fill my heart with Your love, O Lord Love, magnificent love Jesus, You came, You dwelled with us Everlasting God and King, yet You gave Your everything No other worthy of outstanding praise Love, magnificent love
Jesus, You said, peace be on earth
Star of hope and majesty, yet You came to set me free
I love because You first loved me
I love because You first loved me

A pre-recording of this song was offered as a free download a week or two before Christmas. The interesting bit about this recording is that there are slight differences in the lyrics. There was also a short prayer. Original lyrics posted here.
Can you spot the differences? 😉
