God’s Gift


When God sent Jesus down
As our substitute for sin
We didn't fully realize
What He had done for men
He sent His precious Holy gift
As a token of His love
Jesus left Heaven's splendour
When God sent Him from above

God showed His favour to men
By sending His own Son
He came into our world
Showed love to everyone
His life He freely gave
God's precious gift was He
Sent down to earth to die
So that you might be free

So many still deny Him
Refuse to let Him be
Their Saviour and their friend
Won't let Him set them free
They sing Amazing Grace
That saved a wretch like me
Yet they won't accept Jesus
God's Lamb of Calvary

If you don't know Jesus
Accept His love today
He will come into your heart
Take all your sins away
He'll walk with you through life
Your friend He'll always be
Then you will live with Him
Throughout Eternity
