Lyrics / गीत
सागर से गहरा है प्यार
होलो मोय तोर दीवानी
ऊंचा पहाड़ो से भी
है मोर यीशु महान
१. दुख विपत्ति संकट
आवि जब जीवन में
तोय मोर साथ रहले
सागर से गहरा है प्यार
होलो मोय तोर दीवानी
२. भटकत रहों
बिगड़ल रहों
तोय मोके राह दिखाले
सागर से गहरा है प्यार
होलो मोय तोर दीवानी
३. निराश रहों
उदास रहों
आशा केर ज्योति जलाले
सागर से गहरा है प्यार
होलो मोय तोर दीवानी
English Translation
Your love is deeper than the ocean,
I have become passionately devoted (crazy) for You.
Even higher than the mountains,
Is my great Jesus.
1. Sorrow, disaster, and crisis,
Whenever they come into my life,
You always stay with me.
Your love is deeper than the ocean,
I have become passionately devoted for You.
2. I was wandering astray,
I was ruined,
But You showed me the right path.
Your love is deeper than the ocean,
I have become passionately devoted for You.
3. I was disappointed (hopeless),
I was sorrowful,
But You lit the lamp of hope in my life.
Your love is deeper than the ocean,
I have become passionately devoted for You.
Spiritual Meaning & Theme
This beautiful folk song uses the vastness of nature to describe the boundless love, comfort, and redeeming grace of Jesus Christ.
- Immeasurable Love: The chorus draws a striking parallel to Ephesians 3:18, marveling at how wide, long, high, and deep the love of Christ is. The songwriter acknowledges that Jesus’ love is deeper than the deepest ocean and His greatness towers above the highest mountains.
- A Present Help in Trouble: The first stanza rests on the promise of Psalm 46:1 (“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble”). The believer testifies that through every sorrow (Dukh) and crisis (Sankat), Jesus remains a constant, unwavering companion.
- The Guiding Light: The final stanzas tell a personal story of redemption. Moving from being lost and wandering (like the lost sheep in Luke 15) to finding the right path, the worshiper celebrates how Jesus took their despair and lit the unquenchable “lamp of hope” (Asha ker jyoti) in their heart.
