The Gospel
THE GOSPEL
If the gospel isn't good news,
Then it isn't the gospel at all,
The gospel brings tidings of joy
Jesus redeems man from the fall.
For God so loved the world,
That He gave his only son,
To die on an old rugged cross,
For your salvation to be won.
There's nothing you can do,
Salvation has become free.
As you would for any gift
Accept it and thankful be.
The gospel is good news,
For Jesus died in your place.
No longer under the old law,
Now under a new called grace.
The old law has been replaced,
Only grace could salvation fix.
A little law and a little grace,
Like oil and water don't mix.
Jesus rose up from the grave,
That's more good news to tell,
Now He lives forever more
So His spirit in you may dwell.
