Better Than Life Lyrics
By Trevor Morgan, Years Later Music (ASCAP) / Goodwin Trev Music (ASCAP)
My God, how can it be That you would love someone like me? Just a sinner in a saint's disguise But you've opened up my eyes And now I realize
Your love is better than life Your love is deeper than the sea More beautiful than any of the things surrounding me You are everything I need More than I desire Your love is better than life Your love is better than life
It takes my breath away To think of the mistakes I've made And know that you have washed me clean And that you're still at work in me Oh, this is why I sing
Your love is better than life Your love is deeper than the sea More beautiful than any of the things surrounding me You are everything I need More than I desire Your love is better than life Your love is better than life
Better than a smile Better than a kiss Better than any of the things I think I'll miss
Your love is better than life Your love is deeper than the sea More beautiful than any of the things surrounding me You are everything I need More than I desire Your love is better than life Your love is better than life
Story Behind The Song: Psalm 63:3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
I actually wrote this Chorus in the middle of church (my wife knew something was up because I asked to borrow a pen and I never take notes).
The verses came the next day and ended up being a brutally honest picture of who I am.
This is probably the most "worshipful" song that I've written to this point. Not because I picture people all across the country holding hands and singing this on Sunday mornings, but because I feel like it deflects all glory, honor and praise to the One who is truly "better than life."
