Lyrics

Verse 1
What a love that I know
Steady and never letting up
What a friend that You are
I can always depend on You


Chorus
Oh my Jesus, You are the treasure that I have
Oh my Jesus, You are beautiful to me
Oh


Verse 2
What a grace that I'm in
You keep no records of my wrongs
What a King that You are
You set the table and wash my feet

Oh my Jesus, You are the treasure that I have
Oh my Jesus, You are beautiful to me

Every which way I turn You, You're perfect
Like a diamond, every cut is beautiful
Beautiful (Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)

Oh my Jesus, You are the treasure that I have
Oh my Jesus, You are beautiful to me

What a friend that You are
What a friend that You are
I can always depend on You
I can always depend on You
What a love that I know

Meaning & Inspiration

What A Love portrays Jesus as an unfailing friend, a gracious King, and the believers greatest treasure. Its opening lines emphasize constancy and dependence, describing a love that does not withdraw. The declaration that grace keeps no record of wrongs closely echoes Pauls description of love, while the image of a King setting the table and washing feet recalls Christs humble service to His disciples.

The chorus responds to these qualities with simple adoration rather than a request, repeatedly naming Jesus as beautiful and precious. In the bridge, the diamond image suggests that every perspective reveals another aspect worthy of praise. The song therefore joins forgiveness, friendship, humility, and beauty in one portrait of Christ. Its final return to dependable friendship gives the ending a quiet assurance: divine love is presented not as distant admiration but as a steady relationship grounded in grace and the character of Jesus.
