There is a love
that's better than life to me,
jealous and strong,
pursuing and claiming me,
seen in the Son,
in Jesus who rescued me;
this is love.
There is a love
that speaks of amazing grace,
stooping to serve
and taking the sinner's place,
humble in death
and suffering my disgrace;
this is love.
Oh your love is better than life to me,
heaven's highest treasure,
wonderful and free,
binding me to you for eternity,
your love.
There is a love
securing my destiny,
filling my heart,
to counsel and comfort me,
stilling my fears
and trading my pain for peace;
this is love.
Your love is better than life to me,
better than life to me.
better than life to me, O God.

This song began with just the tag, and that line from the psalms, 'your love is better than life.' It's a wonderful thing to say, but I wanted to explore it more. Why is God's love better than life? How can I say that? So I set about exploring the Bible, searching out every reference to the love of God that I could find, to try and build a picture. The final version of the song contains only a small selection of what I found - there are plenty more songs to be written on the subject - but I hope it's enough for you to join in the final refrain with real conviction that his love really is better than life.
Have your say here and join the conversation.
It's been a long time that i've heard a classic worshipsong like this.
A great song with the anointing from the Lord.
We want to use it for the church...
thanks for sharing this wonderful song. God is love
