Analysis of The Greatest Love
The Greatest Love 1976 (Indiana)
Lord, the greatest love you gave to me,
Is the greatest love that will ever be.
From your heart to your hands of healing,
Just Before you, I will be kneeling.
From ashes to ashes, from dust to dust,
Of your promise, I must trust.
Your eyes of gold and your warming smile,
Keeps me looking on for many many miles.
The greatest love that ever shall be,
Is the love you have given to me.
