Song Lyrics      NO GREATER LOVE                     ©1995,John A.Poe,Jr. • 1 Just a quiet young man, with the others he ran, As they hid in a foxhole that day; They were bloody and worn, so fatigued and forlorn, For the battle had not gone their way. As they lay on the ground, with a sickening sound A grenade landed there in the slime; While some screamed, and some ran, this unknown little man Threw himself on the bomb just in time. • (chorus) No greater love under heaven above, Could He have than to lay down his life; Ev'rything he did give, so the others could live; It's a love that will never die. • 2 Just a caring young maid, she was teaching first grade In a little town, not long ago; She had taken her class out to play on the grass, For she loved to see young faces glow; When a truck missed the curve, toward the children it swerved, And a little boy ran the wrong way; She flew back in quick strides, pushed him off to the side, But by then she could not get away. • (chorus) No greater love under heaven above, Could she have than to lay down her life. Ev'rything she did give, so another could live; It's a love that will never die. • 3 On a heavenly throne, crowned with glory untold, Sat our Master and Savior one day; He could see in our hearts the most terrible parts, The sin for which we'd have to pay. So he came here to earth, in miraculous birth, To a world full of hatred and strife. Then He died on a cross, paid the ultimate cost, And His love gave us eternal life. • (chorus) No greater love under heaven above, Could He have than to lay down His life; His great gift He did give, so that mankind would live; It's a love that will never die. • (tag) Now the ransom's been paid, the atonement is made, With a Love that will never die... • • HEAR THIS SONG -- in RealAudio format • •
