A Hymn: The Best That Has Ever Happened to Me
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
Buddy Greene - Nothing But the Blood
The Tune of Hymn to Use
“What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Refrain/Chorus
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!”
The Composed Song
1. My Love, my Dove and my all,
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
You are always my desire
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Refrain/Chorus
The best that has ‘ver happened
To me is you my love,
When I rem’mber your love
For joy I cannot but leap up
2. In darkness, pains an’ the suffering
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
When everything e’en goes south
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Refrain/Chorus
3. Thou camest down ‘to my low estate
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Brought me out of the miry clay
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Refrain/Chorus
4. For me thou suffered ridicule
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
You are rejected an’ disdained
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Refrain/Chorus
5. You became a man of sorrow
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Yet I did not esteem you
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Refrain/Chorus
6. In thine mouth there is no deceit
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
You are compassionate an’ tender
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Refrain/Chorus
7. Initially though I reject thine love
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Yet you keep on calling on me
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
Refrain/Chorus
8. I can’t fully reciprocate thine love
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me
My hope my dream an’ desire
You are the best that has e’er happen’d to me

What can wash away my sin
