No Greater Love

There is no greater love

Than love of Thee, oh God

You crown us with your mercy

Where our sin-stains deck the sod

And instead of destruction

As long as we shall live

You offer sweet redemption

Oh my God and you forgive

There is no greater love

For you do not reward

According to the death we earned

But you forgive us, Lord

As far as east from west

Or north is from the south

You wash away unrighteousness

And satisfy our mouth

The sweetness of your love

Is not a transient thing

Mortality soon slips away

Like petals on the wind

But because of Your grace

And everlasting love

You transport us from this dark place

To ageless realms above

There is no greater love

You laid Your own life down

So we may not know death

But wear the victor’s crown

Oh, what a love is this?

Your death so we may live

Your righteousness absolving guilt

Oh God, as You forgive
