No One Greater

When the world was covered
In the darkness of night,
There was none greater
Than the Light.

When dry land was brought up
Out of the water,
None was greater
Than the Father.

When came the birth
Of fish and birds,
None was greater
Than the Word.

And then was Adam,
First of men,
And none was greater
Than Adam's friend.

Then came corruption
And a mighty flood,
And still, no one greater
Than the Lord Above.

When the prophets prayed--
Fire fell from the sky--
None was greater
Than El-Shaddai.

Two millenniums ago,
The Virgin gave birth,
And God, the mighty,
Was born to the Earth.

Then darkness fell,
And all seemed lost,
But still, none greater
Than the Lamb on the Cross.

Three days after,
He had died for my sin,
None was greater than He,
For He rose again.

When I'm overwhelmed
In this world of man,
None is greater than He
Who holds my hand.

Through death,
Through life,
Through eternal things,
Never will there be greater
Than Christ, my King.
