Walking by the sandy beach one day / Midst the roar of waves I heard my Father say, / Look, my child, the vast expanse of salty sea / The shimmering blue-green waters tell of Me. / For I love you / deeper, wider, higher, far beyond your fondest dream! / My friend, you and I, we'll be a team!

chorus one
He showed me unconditional agape love / descending from our Father above / it's love that lets you choose to resist or respond / unconditional agape love / protecting you with loving eternal bonds.

Walking by the sandy beach that day / I knew that if I turned away I'd hear Him say, / Oh my child you're free to leave and walk away / But it will break my heart, oh won't you stay? / For I love you / deeper, wider, higher, far beyond your fondest dream! / All eternity I'll miss you, my heart is breaking. / Why will you die, how can I give you up? / Your soul I want to redeem, yet your choice I'll always esteem.

chorus two
its called unconditional agape love / descending from our Father above / it's love that lets you choose to respond or resist / unconditional agape love / love will let you go if you insist.

Kneeling on the sandy beach that day / My Father filled my empty heart with His love / Overflowing spilling out to those around / Now my heart breaks too when sin abounds.

coda
its called unconditional agape love / descending from our Father above / Again I heard my Father say, / my child, when your heart breaks / 'coz they turn away from Me, remember. / Remember I love you and I still love them / and I'll comfort you, comfort you. / unconditional agape love
