No Greater Love

Details

This is an emotional hymn titled "No Greater Love" penned and composed by David Kai in 1985, inspired by the biblical verse John 15:13. The song, intended for Good Friday, encapsulates the intense love that compels one to sacrifice their life for their friends. The song sets the scene at Calvary, with a biting wind and an ominously dark sky. It paints a vivid picture of the suffering endured, represented by sweat and blood seeping into the ground under the gaze of the townspeople. The hands that once comforted children are now nailed to the cross, raising the question of why such torment was necessary. The song progresses to depict the brutal beating received, adding to the graphic and poignant imagery.
