This is a Fr Frank Andersen classic that so loved as to be just about beyond criticism. He has visited our parish on a couple of occasions and was a delight, and his book on the Eucharist is essential reading. The transcript of this lecture is also worth our attention.
This is a rather breathless solo performance from a choir loft. You can also listen to an excerpt here.
In my version of the AOV combined guitar book, the very last note is wrong (it is a Bb not a G), which mucks up the big finish if you don’t see it coming.
Verse 1
Deep in Christ I pray you know the power He can give.
May your hidden self grow strong and may you live,
Strong in faith and built on lovee, until you know –
How high and long, how wide and deep, the fullness of God
Verse2
May the God of Jesus Christ, the Father we serve
Fill your minds that you may see, deep in your heart
What hope his call now holds for you,
His promise true, to fill your hearts with power to live,
the fullness of God.
Verse 3
Know the way you learned from Christ, to live life anew
Let your hearts be drawn to Him, let Christ renew,
The hope in you, to grow into. – goodness and truth
And living so you’ll come to know, the fullness of God
coda
And living so you’ll come to know, the fullness of God.

I am trying to find the piano sheet music for the hymn “fullness of God”
G’Day Mary.
Apart from the obvious, that it is in As One Voice, Volume Two:
http://www.asonevoice.com.au/as-one-voice-vol-2
– the full accompaniment for all Father Andersen’s songs are also available here:
http://towersretreat.abundance.org.au/smtrc_spirituality_resources.html#frankandersen
This site also has his contact details if you wish to contact the songwriter directly.
I only have the guitar version from AOV 2 and the melody line collection of Father Andersen’s music, and I can’t supply copyrighted sheet music in any case.
Good luck and I’m sorry I can’t be of more assistance..

Which Scripture is this from I love the song, and it came to me when i was missing my parents, Catholics have scripture in their hearts from going to Mass, but I don’t always know where it is in God’s Word
G’Day Kristine
In the original music book Father Frank just said it was from Ephesians, but the primary motif is Eph 3:19.
cheers
Geoff
Thank you Geoff
Hi Admin I love the song “Fullness of God and I want to sing it and post it on my personal YouTube account. How do I get to safeguard my self from any copyright infringements. I know the song by heart as I have been singing it for years. But during these Covid lockdown times I am stuck at home and just wondering if I could do this.
G’Day Gerard
On YouTube most people just post and wait for a take down. Unless you are monetizing a post, I doubt anyone will go after you, but contacting the songwriter is always an option. I’ll e-mail about that separately.
