Lyrics
It's storming in your soul, you feel you're losing control,
And you see the world is crumbling beneath you.
You're hiding in disgrace, ashamed to show your face
Believing that no one could ever reach you.
But there was a man who laid down His life
That every wrong we've done could be forgiven;
Through the power of the cross, His love can save the lost
And give us a reason for living.
Chorus: The power of love...... is greater than my hopelessness,
Changing all my ugliness to beauty.
The power of love....
is giving me His righteousness,
Covering my sinfulness with mercy.....
Mercy, that's the power of love!
Vs. 2: There's not a chance, or any circumstance
That could separate us from the love He shows us.
It's amazing just to learn that a love we could not earn
Is given freely from the only one who truly knows us!
No matter where we run, His love will be there
From the depths of the ocean to the heavens above.
From the moment of your desperate cry, His arms are open wide
To welcome and to rescue you by the power of His love.
[CHORUS]
Bridge: Amazing love, how can it be that You, my God, would die for me?
