Favorite Worship Music: “Your Love is Better than Life”

Next on the list, Your Love is Better than Life, by Steve Fee. I could easily pick 3-5 of his songs to put into this list. But for diversity sake, will try to make this more diversified. I love Fee’s music so much because, past the good sound he produces, he habitually makes Scripture part of his lyrics. This song comes from Psalm 63:3 “Your love is better than life itself; how I praise You!”

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE (Music/Lyrics by Steve Fee)

Verse 1:

It’s too high to measure
It’s too great a treasure
Longer than forever
It’s inconceivable

Verse 2:

It’s big enough to live in
It’s deep enough is swim in
I’m breathing out just to breath it in
It’s over taken my soul

How high
How deep
How great is Your love for me
It’s making my heart sing

Chorus:

Your love, Your perfect has found me
It covers and surrounds me
Your love is better than life
And Your love, You loved me first and saved me
Rescued and it raised me
Your love is better than life

Verse 3:

It’s coming down like rain
It’s calling out my name
It’s causing me to love the same:
Unconditional

How high
How deep
How great is Your love for me
It’s making my heart sing

Chorus

Your love is better than life
King of love be glorified
Your love is better than life
King of love be glorified

Chorus

Your love is better than life
King of love be glorified
Your love is better than life
King of love be glorified

Favorite Worship Music: “What a Savior”

First up in the list of Praise and Worship music I would like to share is “What a Savior” by Jeremiah Jones, performed by Laura Story (AMAZING voice!). Our Saturday night worship team learned and started playing this song about a year ago, and I’ve never gotten tired of it. Hope you like it too…

WHAT A SAVIOR (music/lyrics by Jeremiah Jones)

Verse 1:

Atoning sacrifice
Keeper of this life
Hallelujah! You are Savior
Beginning and the end
Forgiver of my sin
By Your mercy You have saved us

Chorus:

Jesus, You are stronger
More than any other
Hallelujah! what a Savior
Jesus You are higher
My soul’s deepest desire
Hallelujah! You are Savior

Verse 2:

You are the shepherd king
You lead us by still waters
Hallelujah! You are Savior
You are my only hope
Your kindness is my friend
In Your presence You restore us

Chorus

Bridge:

You are the way, the truth, and the life
You are my joy and my salvation
You stood in my place, taking my shame
Upon your shoulder

Chorus
