Free Gift of Jesus — Lyrics
Verse 1
I tried to draw a line To make my heart look right And my hands kept reaching to work for what we cannot buy I thought my goodness would do it I was much better than the poor My truth was in my corner yet I was impure
Pre-Chorus
God is holy God is good His perfect ways were misunderstood My darkened heart Can’t fix my course I need His gift To let me in His home
Chorus
It’s a free gift A free gift Jesus gives The free gift Not for gold Not for fame Just by grace faith in Jesus’ name It’s a free gift A free gift We can’t buy The free gift
Verse 2
Even angry thoughts can hurt God sees them in His sight Even jealous eyes can stray A tiny seed of wrong is the darkest way Heaven shines so perfectly No stain can stay inside The Holy Lord is just And I have lived for pride
Bridge
Jesus came for me Jesus took my place He paid the ransom With amazing grace Now I can come near Not because I’m strong But because His love Was all along
Final Bridge
He now makes all work to perfect me for eternity with a new heart, soul, spirit and mind all is made new I am made new to now live not to die but to love like You
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Little lesson for little hearts
We can never earn heaven by being good — not even with a thousand gold coins or a million good deeds. Salvation is a free gift Jesus paid for on the cross. We open empty hands and receive Him by faith, and He makes us brand new from the inside.
