I saw you up in Heaven, I saw you in a dream
I saw justice flow from you, like a perfect stream
Trees of life were growing, along the riverbanks
And all the saints were praising you, and giving you their thanks.
Every tongue confessing, all knees were bowed to you
All wore robes of righteousness and cloaks of freedom too
Washed in the blood you freely gave when you were crucified
The Sacred Lamb, sacrificed, redeeming all mankind!
No greater love, has anyone, has anyone ever known!
No greater love, has anyone, has anyone ever known!
Foretold by the prophets, the saviour of the Earth
Conceived by Holy Spirit, born of virgin birth
Three wise men came to worship you, following a star
An angel told the shepherds how wonderful you are
You led a life of innocence and for our sins you died
You went to Hell and back again, then to your Father’s side
Though you’re up in Heaven, your Spirit still remains
To guide us and protect us all, until you come again!
No greater love, has anyone, has anyone ever known!
No greater love, has anyone, has anyone ever known!
To be with you forever, the one that I adore
I’d gladly die a thousand deaths and then a thousand more
I’d walk unto the ends of Earth and through the Gates of Hell
And battle with the demons and dark spirits that there dwell
I’d climb the highest mountain with Satan on my back
Enduring slings and arrows of his spiritual attacks
Ascending up to Heaven for your love divine
To be with you forever and know that you are mine!
No greater love, has anyone, has anyone ever known!
No greater love, has anyone, has anyone ever known!
