The goodness of the father reaches higher than a mountain; that of the mother goes deeper than the ocean.
Related quotes
Father's goodness is higher than the mountains. Mother's goodness is deeper than the sea.
Deeper, Dig Deeper
Deeper, dig deeper
Deeper, deeper, dig, dig, deeper, deeper
Get a little closer
You dont have to be afraid
You have to trust your inner pilot
Dont let it drift away
Dig a little deeper
You gotta get it in your soul
Reach out with your spirit
And let your feelings show
Deeper, deeper, dig, dig, deeper, deeper
You cant deny the feeling
That touches you inside
When youre tired and lonely
You dont have to lose your pride.
Take the time to listen
Stay a little while
Got a song to sing for you
Let the music get you higher, higher.

Like An Ocean
(per andreasson/ pernilla emme)
Producer for bonnie: jimmy smyth
Ocean...ocean...
In the darkness of nowhere
Theres nothing at all
And I feel like Ive been here too long
Shadows and teardrops fading away
And my heart is crying for love
Far from those moments
When my eyes were still closed
And my heartbeat was longing for more
Way over mountains, higher than high
I could feel the breeze from below
Like an ocean...
Like an ocean...
Now tell me your secrets
Come closer and whisper
I feel like Ive seen you before
Theres no more illusions
No more escapes
Cause Im tired of asking for more
Seems like a lifetime fading away
And Im lost in an ocean of love
Im reaching and holding onto my dreams
Cause Im not alone anymore
Like an ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Spoken:
Far from those moments
When my eyes were still closed
Way over mountains
Higher than high
I could feel the breeze from below
Its like an ocean, ocean...heeeyehhh
Like an ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an ocean...
Way over mountains higher than high
Repeat & fade

Im Only Looking
I hear voices
Inside my head
Can I deceive
Can I believe
My whispering friends
What do I hear
About war and peace
What do I hear
About love and sex
Im delirious
For an answer
Im delirious
For an answer
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind
Fascination for
Limits of love
Should I aim higher
And higher and higher
Will I break you
Like some possession
To leave my lesson
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind
Im only looking
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind

A Boy In The Water
a boy
wades in the sea
on the shallower part
he dips his feet
and feels the rocks
beneath
the deep waits
danger lurks
the mother is complacent
and busy
with the weaving of her dreams
the boy goes deeper
and the mouth of the
sea waits
in hunger
the mother sings
to the clouds
as the father pounds the
earth for
his corn ears
the boy goes deeper and deeper
wading through the
water
the sea opens its mouths
and breathes
and becomes so silent
the mother weaves her dreams
the father pounds the earth for corn
the winds pass by
the clouds become heavy and gray
the tears of the sky
arrive
the waters of the river rise
the mother screams
the father stabs the earth
with the sharpness of his bolo
regrets and mourning
reign
the complacent village
the boy is now at peace
in the belly of the sea.

Deeper Than A River
(warren)
Some people search a lifetime
For a love to stand the test of time
But you dont have to worry
Youve got someone
Who will always be right by your side
Oh
Ive got a love
Got a love that wont end
Here in my heart, baby
Ive got a love
So deep, deeper than a river
So high, higher than any mountain
So strong, strong enough to last for all time
This love is running
So deep, deeper than a river
It goes on and on
This love is, this love is, this love is deeper than a river, yeah
Oh yeah
Just like a tree that stands tall
Darling Ill stand by you through it all
Theres nothing gonna stop me from loving you
I will always be right by your side
Youve got a love, got a love for all time
Here in my arms baby
Ive got a love, got a love than wont die
Here in my heart baby
Ive got a love
So deep, deeper than a river
So high, higher than any mountain
So strong, strong enough to last for all time
This love is running
So deep, deeper than a river
It goes on and on
This love is, this love is, this love is deeper than a river, yeah
Like a river needs the sea, I need you with me
Every minute of my life, oh yeah
And like the sunlight needs the sky
I need you by my side
This love of mine
Is so deep, baby, is so deep baby, oh, so deep baby
Oh Ive got a love
So deep, deeper than a river
It goes on and on and on and on, yeah

Stronger Than
Oh Lord You have shown Your favour,
Your every word stands true,
I'm found safe within in Your harbour,
Anchored deep in You,
You washed away my tears,
Gave me joy and freedom,
Lifting me through the years.
Your love is stronger than,
The sound of heaven's praises,
Higher than,
The lofty mountain peaks,
Deeper than,
The deepest ocean valleys
Strong enough for me.

Time's dominion
Mountain,
silent warrior,
bearing time’s scars
in its noble crags.
Ocean,
mountain’s mirror,
refusing time’s ravage,
without form and void.
Mountain,
decayed, honest,
embracing time
with dignity.
Ocean,
time’s subconscious,
internalising
polluted memories.
Tide,
ocean’s heartbeat
on the shoreline,
outside of time.
Mountain,
living.
Ocean,
dying.
Its soul unfurling
to time’s dominion.
On His Father's Side
On his mother’s side
Born in Bethlehem
On his Father’s side
No one before him
On his mother’s side
Growing and learning
On his Father’s side
All knowledge showing
On his mother’s side
Stuck in one location
On his Father’s side
Present in every nation
On his mother’s side
He was hungry
On his Father’s side
The multitudes he did feed
On his mother’s side
At Calvary he died
On his Father’s side
He was the essence of life
On his mother’s side
Buried like other men
On his Father’s side
He rose again
On his mother’s side
Human and weak
On his Father’s side
The God of eternity.

Ear To The Ground
Ive been wondering,
Waiting for something to give,
I wont be a heroine,
Im just looking for something to live by.
And there are lesions in the soil
And there pockets of pain where the shadows lie,
And there are voices in the ocean,
And there is something in the sky.
A mother should say,
A father should say,
Oh you,
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground.
Its washing over me,
Its spinning, its spinning under me
And am I looking up at the angels
Or am I really looking up at the clouds floating by?
And when I say Im listening
Why is it I only hear you when you cry?
A mother should say,
A father should say,
Oh you
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground x3
A mother should say,
A father should say,
Oh you
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground x6

Stay With Me
Tempered by greed, tall buildings breathe
Give a sigh of relief when its night
Stirring from sleep, we night owls creep
Is there any sign of life under this stone
Star chime hollow & true.
Love, child
Weep for me & I will cast your wheels in motion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
Sheltered by creed, one piled on one
Do you have a little room for one small one
Light shine wild & free
Sun, rise
Weep for me & I will set your wheels in motion
Keep with me & like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me & I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
Weep for me & sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me til rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
Stand with me & I will fill you with devotion
Weep for me the sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me & like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me & I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me & rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me the inner reaches of emotion

Male parental hierarchy.
My parents are two, grandparents four
And great grandparents, eight and so on.
I am known by my father, his father,
And his father and so on by male side.
My mother, her mother and father, their
Mother and father and so on are ignored.
My fathers’ mother and grandfather’s
Mother and so on go to oblivion.
I am known by my father, his father
And his father and so on as a family.
All women from whom I have drawn
Their genes have been shut out.
Parental hierarchy is represented
By male, women dislodged at every stage.

Take Me Higher
Would you consume me fire of god
And melt away everything that is not holy
And that stands in the way.
cause father when you breathe your words of life
I am changed and I let your holy spirit fall on me like a plane.
Until I see you until I know you until I can touch you touch you,
Hey take take me higher,
Take take me deeper,
Yeah take take me closer.
Until I see you until I know you until I can touch you yeah.
Yeah jesus you are holy
We say jesus you are holy.
Would you consume me fire of god
And melt away
Everything that is not holy and that stands in the way

Father Of Night
Father of night, father of day,
Father, who taketh the darkness away,
Father, who teacheth the bird to fly,
Builder of rainbows up in the sky,
Father of loneliness and pain,
Father of love and father of rain.
Father of day, father of night,
Father of black, father of white,
Father, who build the mountain so high,
Who shapeth the cloud up in the sky,
Father of time, father of dreams,
Father, who turneth the rivers and streams.
Father of grain, father of wheat,
Father of cold and father of heat,
Father of air and father of trees,
Who dwells in our hearts and our memories,
Father of minutes, father of days,
Father of whom we most solemnly praise.

Deeper Then The Holler
( Paul Overstreet / Don Schlitz )
I've heard those city singers singing
'Bout how they can love
Deeper the the ocean
Higher then the stars above
Well, I come from the country
And I know I ain't seen it all
But I've heard that ocean's salty
And the stars, sometime they fall
And I would not do justice
To the way I feel for you
So I had to sing a song
About all the things I knew
CHORUS: My love is
Deeper then the holler
Stronger then the river
Higher then the pine trees
Growing tall upon the hill
My love is
Purer then the snowflakes
That fall in late December
Honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
Longer then then song of a
whippoorwill
From the backroads to the Broadway shows
With a million miles between
There's at least a million love songs
That people love to sing
Everyone is different
And everyone's the same
This is just another way
Of saying the same thing
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT TAG)

The family tree
I am known by my father
Though equally owned by mother.
I trace from my father’s father,
And not from father’s mother
Nor my mother’s mother or father.
Has family tree any sense?

Deep Water
I'm drowning, I'm sinking.
down. down. down.
I can breath but not a lot.
I reach for the surface,
but someone pushes me deeper down.
I look up to see the waves above my head.
I'm drowning, deeper. deeper. deeper.
I can't seem to catch myself.
Help! I scream, but no one hears me.
Is it all a dream? I ask.
Is it only a nightmare? I ask.
No. it's real. I tell myself. It's real.
I'm going even deeper,
then out of the blue,
someone reaches in and pulls me out.
I'm soaking wet at first,
but then I feel dry all of a sudden.
All my pain, soarness, agravation, hurt, and anger,
he took away from me.
Now I am calm, happy, considerate, and pasionate.
I am eaisy to let it go.
I am no longer drowning, and i never get to deep.
I know know how to float.

River Deep, Mountain High
When you were a young girl
Did you have a rag doll
The only doll youve ever owned
Now Ill love you just the way you loved that rag doll
Only now my love has grown

Deeper baby, heaven knows
Higher, as it goes
Do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby
When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well Im gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No Ill never never let you down
Cos it gets stronger as the river flows
It gets deeper baby, heaven knows
It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes

River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby
