Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging
Your love is a mountain firm beneath my feet
Your love is a mystery, how you gently lift me
When I am surrounded your love carries me
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
your love makes me sing
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
your love makes me sing
Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising
All the joy that's growing deep inside of me
Every time I see you all your goodness shines through
And I can feel this God song rising up in me

Behind the Song:"The first verse of this song was written in the afterglow of an amazing Sunday
morning service. For me, church on Sunday in a foreign country, wasn't just an
enjoyable duty. It really was a lifeline. Meeting with God and His saint's was my
solid ground when everything around me had changed and was changing. I
guess that sense of God's constancy is there in this verse - 'your love is a
mountain, firm beneath my feet'. Although I loved the verse very much I just
couldn't find a chorus for it. So when I went to hang out with Brian and Joyce
Doerksen in Canada this was one of the tunes I'd brought along with me. My life
and Brian's life at that stage couldn't have been more different. He'd been
married for more than a decade, was a father of 5 living in his family home in his
home country. I was single, living in digs in a foreign land. But Brian and Joyce
had lived in London for a couple of years while I was in Oxford and they'd
become one of a few families I'd adopted as my own. They are an amazing
couple and family and took me in like one of their own. I will always be grateful
for the love they showed to me. Brian was the worship pastor for vineyard
churches UK while I was learning the ropes in the Vineyard and it's always felt
like he was the big brother and I was his cheeky younger brother. Anyway. The
differences in our lives couldn't have been more pronounced when we finished
writing this song. Brian was in his living room draped in kids and carnage and I
was quietly but determinedly going through my list of unfinished songs. When we
got to this one, one of his eyes looked in my direction. He asked me to play it
again and then said 'I think it's time we sang Hallelujah again. It was a neat
contrast to the vibe of the verse. It took us about 30 minutes to finish the chorus
and the second verse." - Brenton Brown
