Passion

PASSION (No Greater Love)

(Verse 1)  
Slow ride… Good Friday, sky feel different  
World kept movin’, but time stood still in it  
They don’t feel it… they just see religion  
But I see blood, I see pain, I see the mission  

They stripped Him down, beat Him till He couldn’t stand  
Flesh torn open, nails driven through His hands  
Crown on His head but it wasn’t gold, it was thorns  
Blood runnin’ down His face… King of Kings torn  

And He had power… man, don’t get it confused  
Could’ve called down heaven, had angels break through  
Could’ve shut it all down with a word, no fight  
But He stayed on that cross… that’s real might  

See we call it weakness… nah, that ain’t the truth  
That’s love with restraint, that’s power reduced  
That’s God in the flesh takin’ hits for the guilty  
Lookin’ at the ones killin’ Him… still showin’ mercy  

(Hook)  
This that passion… not weakness, that’s control  
Held back heaven just to come save my soul  
Could’ve wiped it all, could’ve ended it fast  
But He stayed for my sins, yeah He stayed for my past  

This that passion… love deeper than pain  
Every lash, every nail, He carried my shame  
Ain’t no greater love, ain’t no greater cost  
He could’ve stepped down… but He stayed on that cross  

(Verse 2)  
Think about it… every sin you ever did  
Every dark thought, every lie that you hid  
He felt that weight when He hung on that wood  
Holy took on evil… just so we could be good  

And time froze… yeah, eternity paused  
Creator on a cross, that’s a terrifying thought  
The One who made breath… now fightin’ for His  
The One who made life… now dyin’ for this  

And He saw you… yeah, before you were born  
Every mess up, every night you felt torn  
And still said, “I’ll go… yeah they worth that pain”  
That’s love you can’t measure, you can’t explain  

I was out there lost, I was deep in the sin  
Did dirt, hurt people, still walked with a grin  
But He stayed on that cross knowin’ all that I did  
So don’t tell me that ain’t love… that’s everything  

(Bridge)  
“No greater love…” yeah I feel that weight  
To lay down your life for the ones full of hate  
He looked at the cross and said, “Let it be”  
And stayed right there… for you and me  

(Hook)  
This that passion… not weakness, that’s control  
Held back heaven just to come save my soul  
Could’ve wiped it all, could’ve ended it fast  
But He stayed for my sins, yeah He stayed for my past  

This that passion… love deeper than pain  
Every lash, every nail, He carried my shame  
Ain’t no greater love, ain’t no greater cost  
He could’ve stepped down… but He stayed on that cross  

(Outro)  
Yeah… that day wasn’t defeat, it was design  
Not the end of the story… just the cost of mine  
From the cross to the grave to the stone rolled away  
That’s the passion… and that’s why I’m saved
