No Greater Love

I'm taking a little break from all of my latest music theory posts to address some special song requests. Remember that you can always modulate up or down a chord if the song I post is not in the key of your choice that fits your voice range.

Lyrics and Chords

No Greater Love

Rachel Lampa

    G                 Em      C                 Am -  D
1. Before I knew your name,  You knew my ev'ry breath.
   G              Em    C                 Am - D
Before I found my way,  You knew my ev'ry step.
C                   G                    Am                 C - D
Before I knew everything that I'd need,  You gave it all to me

CHORUS:
   G                 Em            C                         Am - D
No greater Love than this.....That you should lay down your life
    G               Em    C                    B7
For someone such as me....I'd spend a lifetime wondering why
    Em                   C                      G                Em
The beauty of Heaven, Is here in my heart,  And I know there can be...
            C     D          G    Em - C - Am - D
No greater love........than this
__________
     G           Em         C                   Am - D
2. I never understood,  how merciful love could be,
  G              Em      C                  Am - D
Until I felt His flame, light every part of me
    C                 G                  C                   C - Am 
And I would give everything that I am,  'Cause I have been saved....
     C             C  - D
Yes, I have been saved!

CHORUS:
   G                 Em            C                         Am - D
No greater love than this.....That you should lay down your life..
    G               Em   C                    B7
For someone such as me,  I'd spend a lifetime wondering why
    Em                   C                      G               Em
The beauty of Heaven, Is here in my heart,  And I know there can be
            C      D
No greater love.......

ENDING - (Easier to sing in same key)
G                    Em             C                        Am - D
No greater love than this..... That you should lay down your life
    G               Em  C                    B7
For someone such as me, I'd spend a lifetime wondering why
    Em                  C                     G                Em
The beauty of Heaven is here in my heart, And I know there can be
           C  -  D                  Em - Am                 
No greater love,   for someone like me,     No greater

“No Greater Love” song – Don Moen

Lyrics:-

You loved me,
When I was so unlovely,
You sought me
When I was lost;

You showed me
How much You really loved me,
When You bought me
At the highest cost

There’s no greater love than this,
There’s no greater love than this,
That a man would give his life for a friend;
There’s no higher sacrifice
Than a man would give his life,
You have paid
A precious price for me

You chose me,
When I was so unworthy
You cleansed me
With Your own blood;
You clothed me
With righteousness and mercy,
And You crowned me
With Your steadfast love

There’s no greater love than this,
There’s no greater love than this,
That a man would give his life for a friend;
There’s no higher sacrifice
Than a man would give his life,
You have paid
A precious price for me (2)

You have paid
A precious price for me…

Broken hearted from all you have lost
How can you sing through your tears?
What is this music that can bear such a cost?
What is this fire that grows stronger against the wind?
What kind of flame can this be?

This is the love that God showed the world

F#m                  F
When He gave us His Son

So we could know His love forever


Beyond the gates of splendor
