The Greatest Love Song

I don’t think I will ever see

A love song start this way

When He gave up all of heavens praise

To come here as a babe

 

I don’t think I will ever know

A child who was so meek

He worked those years in Fathers shop

When He knew who He would be

 

Then the love song picks up tempo

As He’s baptized with such grace

The Holy Spirit declares His name

And He starts to show His face

 

Then He teaches for the next 3 years

The people flock to see Him

He brings healing and deliverance

And sets His fire within

 

But the love song takes a bitter tone

As the leaders plot against Him

And with the help of one of His own

They take Him and arrest Him

 

The music is so melancholy

As the crowd cries crucify

And they beat Him, mock Him, scourge Him

And nail Him up so high

 

But this is where the love song shows

His deepest love for me

As He cries out from the cross “Forgive”

And from sin He sets me free

 

And even though he bows His head

And dies at Calvary

The love song doesn’t end right there

One last stanza’s meant for me

 

For in three days He rose again

His spirit won’t depart

His love will keep Him at our side

As He lives inside our heart

 

Oh the wondrous love of Jesus

Oh the beauty of His plan

He has given all for me

Now He holds me in His hand

Oh the precious song He’s written

With His life so full of love

Tis the greatest love song written

Coming down from heaven above
