The Gift That I Give You

THE GIFT THAT GOD GIVES US The gift that I give you is My beloved Son, With His sacrifice on the Cross, His work is done, The gift that I give you is life ever after, Life in heaven filled with thanksgiving and laughter, The gift that I give you is everlasting peace, Not as the world gives, but where soul conflicts will cease, The gift that I give you is joy down in your heart, Which will remain no matter what life does impart, The gift that I give you is My unending love, Holy Spirit within you like a pure, white dove, The gift that I give you is robe of salvation, My power to overcome any temptation, The gift that I give you is this rare privilege To call Me your Father in this world's pilgrimage, The gift that I give you is magical Nature, Which reminds all men of Omniscient portraiture, The gift that I give you is the chance to praise Me For all that you enjoy and for all that you see The gift that I give you is the power of pray'r To commune more with Me anytime anywhere The gift that I give you is My Word unfailing The lamp unto your feet, o’er darkness prevailing The gift that I give you is this good news to share, I'm waiting with arms open to welcome and care, The gift that I give you is My blessings galore, Infinite as the stars or the sand near the shore, The gift that I give you is your free will to choose The Narrow Way to life or the broad to death’s ruse The gift that I give you is our relationship, You are precious to Me, My unique workmanship. 07.02.2021
