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
