Better By Far (SNS 1/6)

This is a P&W song from Mark Altrogge with no obvious liturgical use (which is fine – The Source isn’t meant to be a collection of liturgical songs), but a strong pop song nonetheless.  You can hear a decent sample of it here and apparently download a free lead sheet here. You can even by a proper backing track for less than a dollar here.

Chorus

Better by far is Your presence
Better by far is Your Spirit
Nothing compares
To Your love poured out in my heart
Better by far is Your presence
Better by far is Your Spirit
Nothing compares
To Your love poured out in my heart
It’s better by far

Verse 1

Better by far
To be near You
Than be freed from all of my trials
Better by far
That You make me like Christ
Than to give me all I desire

Chorus

Verse 2

Better by far
Just to know You
Than be blessed in all other ways
Better by far
That You work in my life
To the praise of Your glory and grace

Chorus
