No Greater Love

Verse 1

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 un- til he could hardly stand
a crown of thorns pierced his head
and all of that time not a single word in his de- fense 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 1

For the man on the cross filled with sorrow and pain
will bring us to God once a- gain,
for no greater love has been shown since that day
when the Saviour took our sins a- way

Verse 2

For all of my life your boundless love
I want to get to know
'though sometimes I've turned my back on you
and I’ve 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 to- day
The Light of the World, the Bread of Life
the Son of God, Morning Star
my earthly mind can't compre- hend
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 2

For the man on the cross filled with sorrow and pain
will bring us to God once a- gain,
for no greater love has been shown since that day
when the Saviour took our sins a- way

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
