“Your love is better than life…” It’s a phrase that’s been used in worship songs for quite some time. It comes from Psalm 63, where the writer says to the Lord, “Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You.” That entire Psalm is so rich with imagery of the Lord’s goodness and care and protection of us. I highly encourage you to take a minute to read it. It’s such an honest reflection of the difficulties of life, of how we face opposition from the world, the enemy and from those who do not have the mind of Jesus. He Himself said, “Hey, you ARE going to have trouble in this world, but take heart—I have overcome the world.” That care for us, that declaration of His promise of victory, no matter what we are facing: THAT is the heartbeat behind this song. I wrote this at a very low place and was so encouraged by the assurance that the One who made me destined me to be an overcomer through Him. He knows every obstacle we’re gonna face. When we rest in His love, He overcomes through us.
lyrics
When there are no more words left for me to say
Lord, I'll wait, still I'll wait
And when I feel so alone, so misunderstood
You knew I would, so I'll wait for You
Come and make me Yours again
How I need You, faithful Friend
I need Your touch
I need Your love
Cause Your love is better, better than life
Your love is better, better than life
You are the Well that won't run dry
Your love is better, better than life
When there are no more words left for me to say
Lord, I'll wait, still I'll wait
Oh, and when I feel so alone, so misunderstood
You knew I would, so I'll wait, I'll wait for You
Come and make me Yours again
Oh, how I need You, faithful Friend
I need Your touch
Oh, I need Your love
Cause Your love is better, better than life
Your love is better, better than life
You are the Well that won't run dry
Your love is better, better, better than life
Oh, Your love is better, better than life
Your love is better, better than life
You are the Well that won't run dry
Your love is better, better than life
Your love is better, better than life
Your love is better, better than life
