Greater Things
Ashes Remain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So much more than we know
Like a simple conversation
Gives a heart just little hope
Every time we offer mercy
Every time that we show grace
When we give love to the undeserving
One spark can start a fire
One drop begins a flood
Oh as small as they may seem
These are the greater things
The moments keep passing
I don’t wanna miss one more
I wanna point the world to Jesus
He’s all I’m living for
Every time we offer mercy
Every time that we show grace
When we give love to the undeserving
Like the One who took our place
One spark can start a fire
One drop begins a flood
Oh as small as they may seem
These are the greater things
Yeah
These are the greater things
Yeah
It’s more than a moment, it’s a mystery
Why He uses us
But we own it, changing history
Because of what He’s done
Every time we offer mercy
Every time that we show grace
When we give love to the undeserving
Like the One who took our place
One spark can start a fire
One drop begins a flood
Oh as small as they may seem
These are the greater things
Yeah
These are the greater things
Yeah
These are the greater things
