Greater Love Lyrics

Here he lies before me,
My friend for many years,
He saved me from the water,
Now I'm drowning in my tears;

Grief is but a poor word for everything I feel,
There can be no greater love;

He was there to guide me through the follies of my age,
Always there beside me, everything forgave;
Held me as a father, showing me the way,
There can be no greater love;

No fear did he have before the storm,
The fate of others was his only thought, Chris De Burgh - Greater Love - http://motolyrics.com/chris-de-burgh/greater-love-lyrics.html
And though it was the way to certain darkness,

To save my life he gave his own;

For my life he gave his own,
And these words are writ in stone, where he lies;

"Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friend;"

"Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friend;"

"Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friend."
