His Love Runs Deeper Gospel R&B & Soul Song | The Heart Behind the Fire
His Love Runs Deeper Gospel R&B Soul Song – The Tender Father by Malachi Ben-David
“Some folks read the Scriptures and all they see is fire… Oh, but His love runs deeper than the thunder and the storm.”
Malachi Ben-David’s warm “His Love Runs Deeper” is a powerful Gospel R&B and soul song that answers one of the oldest misreadings of God. Some people open the Bible and see only fire, judgment, and a “harsh and cold” God. This soul-gospel song gently turns the page.
This scripture-rooted Christian R&B song reveals the tender, caring Father the fire-only reading misses — the God who carried His children, taught them to walk, and keeps calling the wanderer home.
The Story & Heart of “His Love Runs Deeper”
The song names the caricature out loud, then corrects it with Scripture itself. It draws from God’s own self-description — merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love — and from the Old Testament’s own portraits of fatherly tenderness: the eagle hovering over its nest, the Father teaching His children to walk with arms stretched open wide, the God who yearns and calls the wanderer home.
The chorus declares the truth: “His love runs deeper than the thunder and the storm… the love behind the discipline, the heart behind the song.” The bridge turns the argument into a church call-and-response: “They say He’s mean… But He’s merciful!”
