Full Lyrics

1. It's His gift, this cre- a- tion, all the glo- ry we see, It's the gift laid out for A- dam and for Eve, But as they turned a- way from His world so bright, It would plunge us deep in- to fear of the Light. Life, life poured out on you and me He calls us to live and His Glo- ry to see Our Lord calls us home with Him to be in His pres- ence liv- ing e- ter- nal- ly!

2. It's His gift, in- car- na- tion, He be- came us to be All the things our fal- len race could nev- er be. Our na- ture He would take and then jus- ti- fy, To the Law's de- mands Christ would ful- ly com- ply.

3. It's His gift, our re- demp- tion, bought and paid in His blood All God's wrath poured out in one tre- mend- ous flood. The ran- som paid for all in His act of Grace meant to bring you in- to His lov- ing em- brace.

4. It's His gift, res- ur- rec- tion Raised to life so that we May al- so with Him in glo- ry al- ways be. His new life is God's pro- mise and guar- an- tee of the gift He pre- pares for you and for me.

5. It's His gift, His as- cen- sion we a- wait His re- turn. Not a- lone, yet for His near- er pres- ence yearn. Christ leads us to the Fa- ther and makes our home Where we'll sing to- ge- ther a- round His_ Throne.
