paroles de chanson There's a Wideness in God's Mercy - Thomas Moore feat. Wakefield Cathedral Choir & Earl Simon

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea
There's a kindness in his justice
Which is more than liberty
There is no bliss where earth's sorrows
Are more felt than up in heaven
There is no bliss where earth's limits
Have such kindly judgments given
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind
But we bleed his love to narrow
By false limits of our own
And we magnify his strictness
With a zeal we will not own
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head
There is reason for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss
If our love were much more simple
We should take him at his word
And our light would be all darkness
In the joy of Christ our Lord
