VERSE ONE
Let me never forget this Love so divine
In your Body and Blood, in this bread and this wine
Let me never forget the nails in your hands
That you would die for me, I’ll never understand

CHORUS
Your love is sweeter than wine
Your love is better than life
So I’ll sing until my final breath
Your love, O Lord,
is stronger than death

VERSE TWO
Let me never forget how you suffered such loss
Obedient to death, even death on a cross
Let me never forget that you have called me by name
With all that I am, I’ll forever proclaim:

BRIDGE
Neither death nor life
Neither depth nor height
Can ever separate me from Your love
Not things present nor to come
And I have only just begun
To know the wonders of Your love
(REPEAT BRIDGE)

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
