No Greater Love

[Intro] [Verse 1] Have you ever loved—with pain that sears and scorches? So deep, you bit your tongue and tasted blood? Where agony would boil within your torches, Then cool your face like rain from Heaven’s flood? With grieving soul, surrendered to the ocean, To dance with sorrow in a whirlwind’s flight Dark clouds devour the sky with wild commotion, And wrath is served in one lone cup that night. [Chorus] He, loving evermore, breaks chains of mortal sorrow, His Love restores the dead and brings the soul to light. It shattered Hell’s own bonds, brought hope into tomorrow, And finds the one He seeks—she won’t escape His sight! His Love will rise above, a star in midnight’s keeping, And wash her tender face with dew of morning’s grace. To love is life itself! With dawn she will be waking! There is no greater Love—no power can replace! [Verse 2] That moment came—when bones could break from pressure. The hour struck—but He stood strong beneath the weight. He walked, He knocked, the wind became His gesture. He called her still, with ever-patient wait. Her eyes were cold—but still He loved through dying, Her “kiss goodbye” struck deep—a final, silent toll. To her, He seemed absurd, insane, defying, Too simple, far too weak to bear her soul. [Chorus] But loving evermore, He breaks the chains of mortals, His Love can raise the dead, give breath to buried dreams. He tore through Hell’s dark gate, broke through its iron portals, And finds the one He loves—no matter how it seems! His Love will shine above, a star in shadowed hour, And cleanse her sleeping face with dew from Heaven’s stream. To love is life itself! And dawn will bring her power! There is no higher Love—no purer, deeper dream! [Verse 3] What could He give? Their days of knowing faded, No dawn to share within the warmth of thought— Their verses broke like glass, once serenaded, Now silenced—what was once for two, is not. The Heavens closed; He wore the robe of fallen, Alone with Cross and night, left to the grave— His Blood upon the Earth, the price of Love’s true calling, The tomb prepared—His fate was sealed to save. [Chorus] Yet loving evermore, He breaks the bonds of dying, His Love is strong enough to wake the dead again. It saves a broken world, with chains of hell defying, He seeks His chosen one—still reaching through the pain! His Love will rise above, a star the night revealing, And bathe her face with dew, with Heaven’s gentle light. To love is life itself! With dawn comes healing feeling! There is no greater Love, that dares to love so right! The Heavens closed; He wore the robe of fallen, Alone with Cross and night, left to the grave— His Blood upon the Earth, the price of Love’s true calling, The tomb prepared—His fate was sealed to save. [Chorus] Yet loving evermore, He breaks the bonds of dying, His Love is strong enough to wake the dead again. It saves a broken world, with chains of hell defying, He seeks His chosen one—still reaching through the pain! His Love will rise above, a star the night revealing, And bathe her face with dew, with Heaven’s gentle light. To love is life itself! With dawn comes healing feeling! There is no greater Love, that dares to love so right!
