I'm not alone, I really believe
You never go, You never leave
Here and now, You always stay
“I love you” could not be said a better way

It's everything You've promised
There's no greater love than this
From prophets until today
A man laying down His life for His friends
Your sacrifice has spoken, You gave everything
And “I love you” could not be said
A better way

I am forgiven, I clearly see
It's why You came to do all you did for me
Trading earth with heaven, You took my place
“I love you” could not be said
A better way

Because You redeem, I know what's to come
Everything I could lose here, You've already won
So You have my surrender, with passion obey
“I love you” could not be said
A better way




Behind the Song:
"“A Better Way” is a response to the revelation that God has worked out a seamless act of love in my story, through history. This song was originally written as a love song for my wife. While she appreciated the gesture, she protested that there was a much deeper and more profound love story to be told. She was quite right; I took her meaning and sat down to write a new love song. The final song, in contrast, is a response to an act of love so complete it could not be done, in fact, "a better way.”" - Jason Germain (downhere)
