Leeland, a well-known Christian worship band, released a song titled “Highest Price” that explores the concept of sacrifice in their album “Better Word.” The lyrics tell the story of Jesus Christ, focusing on how much he gave up for humanity.
The song starts by calling Jesus “Prince of Heaven” and “King of all,” highlighting his greatness. Then, it takes a turn, explaining how Jesus left his throne and came to Earth as a human. The lyrics paint a picture of Jesus suffering and being mocked, even though he was sinless. The powerful message is that Jesus paid the ultimate price – his own life – through his crucifixion.
“Highest Price” isn’t just about the past; it’s about the present too. The song talks about how Jesus’ sacrifice washes away our sins. Leeland conveys this deep appreciation for Jesus’ gift, making the listener contemplate the immense value of what Jesus did.

Highest Price Lyrics by Leeland
Prince of Heaven, King of all
He descended from His throne into the world
The Son of God was born in my frame
He bore the cross, despised the shame
Clothed in sin, His robe was stained
And by His blood, now I am free, now I am saved
For my Jesus paid the highest price
The Lamb of God was crucified
And He deserves my love, He deserves my life
For Jesus paid the highest price
Amen
Prince of Heaven
Prince of Heaven, King of all
He descended from His throne into the world
The Son of God, yeah, was born in my frame
He bore the cross
He bore the cross, despised the shame
Clothed in sin, His robe was stained
And by His blood, ayy, now I am free, oh, now I am saved
For my Jesus paid the highest price
The Lamb of God was crucified

Oh, and He deserves my love, He deserves my life
For Jesus paid the highest price
Yes, He did, yeah
Oh, and there’s no greater sacrifice
