I searched the world

But it couldn't fill me

Man's empty praise

And treasures that fade

Are never enough


Then You came along

And put me back together

And every desire

Is now satisfied

Here in Your love (Hey)


Oh, there's nothing better than You

There's nothing better than You

Lord, there's nothing

Nothing is better than You

(Oh, yes I know it's true)


I'm not afraid

To show You my weakness

My failures and flaws

Lord, You've seen 'em all

And You still call me friend


'Cause the God of the mountain

Is the God of the valley

There's not a place

Your mercy and grace

Won't find me again


Oh, there's nothing better than You

There's nothing better than You

Lord, there's nothing

Nothing is better than You

(I know it's true)


Oh, there's nothing better than You

There's nothing better than You

Lord, there's nothing

Nothing is better than You


You turn mourning to dancing

You give beauty for ashes

You turn shame into glory

You're the only one who can


You turn mourning to dancing

You give beauty for ashes

You turn shame into glory

You're the only one who can


You turn graves into garden

You turn bones into armies

You turn seas into highways

You're the only one who can

You're the only one who can


Oh, there's nothing better than You

There's nothing better than You

Lord, there's nothing

Nothing is better than You


Oh, there's nothing better than You

There's nothing better than You

Lord, there's nothing

Nothing is better than You


You turn graves into gardens

You turn bones into armies

You turn seas into highways

You're the only one who can


You turn graves into gardens

You turn bones into armies

You turn seas into highways

You're the only one who can

You're the only one who can

You're the only one who can


You turn mourning to dancing

You give beauty for ashes

You turn shame into glory

You're the only one who can


You turn graves into gardens

You turn bones into armies

You turn seas into highways

You're the only one who can


You turn graves into gardens

You turn bones into armies

You turn seas into highways

You're the only one who can

You're the only one who can

You're the only one who can
