Analysis of The Ocean Speaks
The Ocean Speaks
Author: Mark V. Markov
Oh it's deeper
Than I can imagine
Oh it's wider
Than I can perceive
Your love Oh Lord
Is like the ocean
The ocean speaks of Your love for me
Your love Oh Lord
Is like the ocean
Oh the ocean speaks
The ocean speaks of Your love for me
Oh the ocean speaks
The ocean speaks of Your love for me
Nothing can take You away from me
Nothing can separate me
From Your love
Nothing can take You away from me
Nothing can separate me
From the power of Your love
Oh it's deeper
Than I can imagine
Oh it's wider
Than I can perceive
Oh the ocean speaks
The ocean speaks of Your love for me
Oh the ocean speaks
The ocean speaks of Your love for me
Nothing can take You away from me
Nothing can separate me
From Your love
Nothing can take You away from me
Nothing can separate me
From the power of Your love
Oh it's deeper
Than I can imagine
Oh it's wider
Than I can perceive
Your love Oh Lord
Is like the ocean
The ocean speaks of Your love for me
Your love Oh Lord
Is like the ocean
Oh the ocean speaks
The ocean speaks of Your love for me
Oh the ocean speaks
The ocean speaks of Your love for me...
