NO GREATER LOVE
Elizabeth Miller
I was watching from the Heavens
So long before my life,
And worried for my brother
The beloved Son, the Christ
I saw Him as his pores spilled blood
In the place Gethsemane----
Afraid to take the bitter cup
But willing to - for me.
I watched Him as they pierced His hands
And hung Him from the cross.
They crowned Him as the King of Jews.
They didn’t know the cost.
And in his pain, he looked on me,
His eyes so full of love
And smiled through His tears at me
In the Heavens far above
“For you I’ll die, my little one.
For you I’ll bear these sins
Because there is not greater love
Than the love I have within.”
And then he died upon the cross
His suffering complete. ---
It is He who watches me now
And some day we will meet.
And I will fall before Him
To praise Him to the end
And kiss this man – my brother –
My Lord, My King, My Friend.
