the unconditional gift of grace

our precious gift of salvation
in the coming of the Savior
the unconditional gift of grace
when heaven came to earth

the precious gift of Jesus
of that babe in the manger
the man who would choose to climb
the rugged cross for us

the unconditional gift of grace
that God poured down upon us
showing us the truth of love
that the Father has for us
