No Greater Passion
"For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2).
No Greater Passion
"For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2).
VERSE
1. We have no greater passion,
No greater joy we own;
No other cause so great unites us
Than making Jesus known.
We have one simple message
That Jesus came to save;
To rescue dead and helpless sinners,
His life He freely gave.
CHORUS
Let our lives and our lips
Declare the gospel.
All praise to Christ we give!
Who He is, what He's done,
And why it matters,
He's the reason that we live.
VERSE
2. We have no other answer,
When asked about our creed.
It's Christ alone, His love compels us
To reach a world in need.
We have a great commission
To preach His Word to all,
At home, abroad and to hard places,
Wherever He may call.
CHORUS
Let our lives and our lips
Declare the gospel.
All praise to Christ we give!
Who He is, what He's done,
And why it matters,
He's the reason that we live.
VERSE
3. We have no other refuge;
"To whom Lord shall we go?"
In You alone is life eternal,
No other hope we know.
We have one sure foundation
That can't be overthrown.
We're anchored firm in Christ our Savior,
Our Rock, our Cornerstone.
CHORUS
Let our lives and our lips
Declare the gospel.
All praise to Christ we give!
Who He is, what He's done,
And why it matters,
He's the reason that we live.
DESCANT
No other passion,
No other creed,
No other refuge,
This we believe.
No other passion
No other creed,
He's the reason that we live.
