A song for Good Friday. Scripture reference: John 15:13.
"No one has greater love than this, to lay down ones life for ones friends."
NO GREATER LOVE words and music by David Kai ©1985
A chilly wind blows upon Calvary's hill, the sky is as dark as the night,
the sweat and the blood trickle down to the ground, as the townspeople gaze at the sight,
And the hands that once held the children near are nailed onto the tree,
Why did you have to suffer that for me?
They beat him until he could hardly stand, a crown of thorns pierced his head,
and all of that time not a single word in his defense he said,
And I stood within that angry crowd that jeered along the way,
for I helped to put you on the cross that day.
CHORUS For the man on the cross filled with sorrow and pain, will bring us to God once again,
for no greater love has been shown since that day when the Saviour took our sins away.
For all of my life your endless love I want to get to know,
'though sometimes I've turned my back on you and Ive heard the rooster crow,
but then you've appeared just like a friend to guide my wandering way,
no longer on the cross, you're here today.
The Light of the World, the Bread of Life, the Son of God, Morning Star,
My earthly mind can't comprehend all of the things you are,
But even through glass that's dark and dim, my eyes can plainly see,
You loved us so much you died to set us free.
CHORUS For the man on the cross filled with sorrow and pain,
Will bring us to God once again, for no greater love has been shown since that day
When the Savior took our sins away.
No greater love, no there's no greater love,No greater love, no there's no greater love,
There's no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend.
