Greater Love
If I had been there at his trial,
And watched as they mocked Israel’s King,
I wonder if I would have tried to turn their hearts to Him,
If I had been there when they whipped him,
And watched as he fell to his knees,
Would I have been willing to offer my own life for Him,
For His friends, how he bled
His love for them was just as he said
Greater love he showed the greatest love, of all
If I had been there at the hillside when they fastened his hands to the cross,
I’m sure that my heart would have broken,
For His friends, For His friends,
And that’s me if I do what he said
Would I give? Could I live my life like Jesus?
Jesus
Well now, it’s been years since his lifetime,
But he and his love still remain,
And all that I want is to be like him,
He was all I hope to be,
I would give my life to be,
The kind of friend, Jesus was to me,
Greater love
Amor Maior
Se eu estivesse lá em seu julgamento,
E viu como eles zombaram Rei de Israel,
Eu me pergunto se eu teria tentado o coração voltado para Ele,
Se eu estivesse lá quando espancava,
E vi quando ele caiu de joelhos,
Eu teria sido disposto a oferecer minha própria vida por Ele,
Para seus amigos, como ele sangrou
Seu amor por eles era exatamente como ele disse
Maior amor que ele mostrou o maior amor, de tudo
Se eu estivesse lá no morro quando preso mãos à cruz,
Tenho certeza de que meu coração teria quebrado,
Para seus amigos, por seus amigos,
E isso é-me se eu fizer o que ele disse
Eu daria? Eu poderia viver minha vida como Jesus?
Jesus
Bem, agora, tem sido anos desde que a sua vida,
Mas ele e seu amor ainda permanecem,
E tudo o que eu quero é ser como ele,
Ele era tudo o que eu espero ser,
Eu daria a minha vida para ser,
O tipo de amigo, Jesus foi para mim,
Amor maior
