He came a long way from heaven lyrics

[Guest]

I owed a debt I couldn't pay,
it was growing every day
But, Jesus paid it all for me
He gave his life on Calvary
Gave it there for you and me.
Oh, Jesus, I love Him. Yes, I do.

CHORUS:
He came a long way from Heaven.
To take away all sin and strife.
He came a long way from Heaven.
To give to us eternal life.

They crucified the Holy King
but he was not the one to blame.
Oh, Father, forgive them was his cry.
And to the thief there by his side,
he said to him before he died:
Today thou will be with me in paradise.

A greater love was never shown,
A greater man I've never known
Than Jesus the lonely Nazarene,
He took my place at cavalry
he bore the pain for you and me

Mary smith
Jesus, I love him, yes I do.

I fought a debt I couldn't pay
It was growing every day
But Jesus paid it all for me,
He gave his life on Calvary
Gave it there for you and me
Oh Jesus I love yes I do.

Chores:
He came a long long way from heaven
To take away all sin and strife
He came a long long way from heaven
To give to us eternal live

They Crucified the Holy King, but he
Was not to blame, oh father forgive them
Of their sin. Now to the thief there by his
Side he said to him before he died, today
Thou be with me in paradise.

Chores:
He came a long long way from heaven
To take away all sin and strife
He came a long long way from heaven
To give to us eternal live

A greater love was never shown a greater
Man was never known than Jesus the lowly
Nazarene oh no he never lost his faith
He died for the human race oh Jesus I love
him yes I do

I sang this song for many years in church. I first heard it on an album by the Florida boys

[Kaloed]

No greater love was ever shown
No greater man was ever known
Than Jesus the lowly Nazarene
Although he never had great fame
The cleansing power was in his Dear Name
Oh He's my Saviour
I love him yes I do.
