I’ve tasted Your glory and I left it there
You poured out Your Spirit and I didn’t care
Still You loved me
I’ve lived for myself with nobody to blame
I took what You gave me and squandered Your grace
Still You loved me
(But) Nothing compares to what You’ve done for me
Nothing compares to what You’ve done for me
I could live for the broken share in their pain
I could die like a martyr or live like a saint
Just to love You
I could sing like the angels gather Your praise
Be blessed beyond measure and give it away
Just to love You
My heart has been broken I’ve laid out my shame
Because of Your mercy all I can say is
I love You
So I’ll tell of Your story I’ll carry Your name
I’ll live for Your glory Lord
I’ll share in Your pain
Just to love You oh
Nothing compares to what You’ve done for me
No nothing compares to what You’ve done for me
Woah nothing compares to what You’ve done for me
Nothing could separate us
No nothing could separate us
Not death or life
Or depth or height or unseen power
Now or ever
