There is no greater love than this
That a man should lose his life
There betrayed by a midnight kiss
You were given up to die
So I will sing of how Your love
Has washed me clean
I am redeemed
There’s none on earth
No wealth nor fame
To which I’ll sing
For You’re my King
On the day You were beaten
It never crossed Your mind
That I was not worth dying for
My soul You came to earth to find
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I am redeemed
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I am redeemed
And I will sing of how Your love
Has washed me clean
I am redeemed
There’s none on earth
No wealth nor fame
To which I’ll sing
For You’re my King
‘Cause I’ve been found by majesty
I know my King
And I will sing with all my lungs
I once was lost
Now ransomed free
My soul must sing
I am redeemed
Nathan Jess
