Lyrics
There's no greater love than laying down your life
For a friend, and you called me friend.
Those were only words until you chose to die
For your friends; you died for your friends.
You spoke of the Father's love
Then you showed us, still it's
Hard to understand
How my life could mean so much to you,
And you would give your life
To be my friend.
I've never had a friend like you
Never knew what love could do
You had everything and laid it down for me
I've never had a friend like you
And I pray that I will be
The kind of friend you have been to me.
He was lord of all and he gave all he had
For his friends, and he called us friends.
I began to see what his love required of me
As a friend, and you are my friend.
Now I know how it could be
If I could love you, just as he loved me
I would lay down my life for you
And you would see his love for you in me.
I've never had a friend like you
Never knew what love could do
You had everything, and laid it down for me.
I've never had a friend like you
And I pray that I will be
The kind of friend you have been to me.
A friend like you
Never knew what love could do
You had everything, and laid it down for me.
I've never had a friend like you,
And I pray that I will be
The kind of friend you have been to me.
