There is no greater love”
These powerful words remind us of the immeasurable love that God has for us. It is a love that goes beyond any other form of love, a love that is willing to lay down one’s life for another. The song reflects on Jesus’ crucifixion on Calvary and the salvation that was brought forth through His sacrifice.
