FAR ABOVE ALL OTHER LOVES,
Far beyond all other joys,
Heaven’s blessings poured on me,
By the Holy Spirit’s power.
Love’s compelling power
Draws my heart into Yours;
Jesus, how I love You,
You’re my Friend and my Lord.
You have died and risen
So what else can I say?
How I love You, Lord,
Love You, Lord.
All ambition now has gone,
Pleasing You my only goal;
Motivated by Your grace,
Living for eternity.
Looking with the eye of faith
For the day of Your return;
In that day I want to stand
Unashamed before Your throne.
