Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Many waters cannot quench love
Neither can the floods drown it
Many waters cannot quench love
Neither can the floods drown it
[Verse 2]
Love is strong as death
Love is strong as death
Many waters cannot quench love
Greater love hath no man than this
[Verse 3]
That a man lay down his life
For his friends
[Verse 4]
Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree
That we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness
[Verse 5]
That we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness
Should live unto righteousness
[Verse 6]
That we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness
Should live unto righteousness
[Verse 7]
Ye are washed, ye are sanctified
Ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus
Ye are a chosen generation
A royal priesthood
A holy nation
[Verse 8]
That ye should show forth the praises of Him
Who hath call'd you out of darkness
Out of darkness
Into His marvelous light
[Verse 9]
I beseech you brethren by the mercies of God
That ye present your bodies
A living sacrifice
Holy
Acceptable unto to God
Which is your reasonable service
