He is the gift of life
(Verse 1)
He came to this world of lonely strangers
Born in a stable he laid in a lowly manger
Such a gift of love from a child
Who one day would set us free
He didn’t have to do this, but he did it for you and me, yeah...
What a precious gift of life he gave
To all mankind
To the meek and the brave
So we will no longer be slaves
(Chorus)
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
He is the gift of life
Oh, what a sacrifice
He set us free from a debt we could not pay
So we could be free from the guilt and the shame
(Verse 2)
What man is this that he would lay down his life
It’s a love beyond measure
He such a treasure
I’ve never known a love like this quite ever existed
That will fight for me
Despite my resistance
(Chorus)
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
He is the gift of life
Oh, what a sacrifice
He gave to the meek and the brave
To set us free from the guilt and the shame
(Verse 3)
When he found me, I was a broken mess
But he cleaned me up
And clothed me with his very best
And he gave me
A garment of praise for the faint of spirit
A crown of beauty instead of ashes
That I may be found in the splendor of his righteousness
(Chorus)
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
He is the gift of life
Oh, what a sacrifice
He gave to the meek and the brave
To set us free from the guilt and the shame
(Final Chorus)
What a precious gift of life he gave
To all mankind...
He set us free from a debt we could not pay…
That we may no longer be slaves...
He gave so much for you and me so we could be free, hey...
He is the gift of life... oh what a sacrifice!...
He was just a little baby…born in a manger...
To a world full of strangers...
He is the gift of life!...
Hmmm….hmmmm...
He is the gift of life!
