David Hepburn is a retired minister-of-music, choir director, band director, missionary, teacher, and school president, and a fine tenor and trumpeter. His many compositions are a testament to the works of Jesus he has seen in the lives of others and in his own life.

This is yet another song of faith from David Hepburn, originally written in 1979.

The love of God is real to me,
It's deeper than the ocean,
Wider than the widest sea, and it set me free.
I've left the past behind-
What joy there was to find-
A friend so good and kind-
Oh, praise His name, I love Him much,
And He's never out of touch.

The love of God is real to me,
It's deeper than the ocean,
Wider than the widest sea, and it set me free.
I've left the past behind-
What joy there was to find-
A friend so good and kind-
Oh, praise His name, I love Him so,
And I want the world to know,
The love of God is real to me.
