The Greatest Love
Are you saddened by a love that has let you down?
Are you broken because of a love that has failed?
Fear no more, for there is a Love who will never leave you
No, He'll never leave you.
The greatest love in the world,
Oh, the greatest love
Is the love of Jesus.
His love never fails.
His wonderful, beautiful, unconditional love…
His love never fails.
It's a love that will never leave you.
It always builds you up and never tears you down.
His love is patient and kind, understanding and true.
His love is amazing, full of grace and mercy.
The greatest love in the world
Is the love of Jesus.
It wasn't the nails,
It wasn't the ropes
That held Him to that cross.
Yeah, His love for you and me
Kept Him on the cross,
Because…
The greatest love in the world,
Oh, the greatest love
Is the love of Jesus.
His love never fails.
His wonderful, beautiful, unconditional love…
His love never fails.
His love is the greatest love in the world.
I wrote these song lyrics on Palm Sunday, April 4th, 2004. Some of the words that my pastor said in his sermon today really stuck in my mind, and I ended up with this song about Christ's love. His love really is the greatest love in the world. And I am so thankful that He loved me enough to die for me; so thankful that He loves me still.
