Interpretation
The song lyrics 'Wie Tief Muss Gottes Liebe Sein' by
Albert Frey are about God's immeasurable love for us humans. The lyrics emphasize that God loves us unconditionally, without measure. He sacrificed his son Jesus Christ for us, to bear our sins and give us new life.
A central theme of the song is the guilt of mankind. The lyrics describe how the singer looks at the cross and recognizes his own guilt there. He feels ashamed and admits that he was among the mockers who mocked Jesus. But even though he doesn't deserve it, he knows that he is forgiven, because Jesus' death has erased his sins.
In the rest of the lyrics, it is emphasized that the singer does not want to trust in any worldly power or wisdom, but wants to build his life on Jesus' death and resurrection. He recognizes that he lives by the grace of Jesus and that his blood has paid for his guilt. Therefore, he has new life and the certainty that he is forgiven.
The song lyrics express the singer's gratitude for the love and sacrifice of Jesus and emphasize the importance of faith in Jesus Christ as the foundation of his own life.
