The Gift

Introduction

I offer you a child

Who too soon will be a boy,…

Far too soon to be a man.

Vs 1

He will show you where you have gone wrong

He will guide you into the light

He will bend when others will break

He’ll forgive when others hearts are stone

He’s arrived but you do not know where

Bethlehem in a lowly stable

There’s a star so bright and shining

Follow it – it will lead you there,..

Chorus

And you will see the Lord of Lords

And you will know him by these signs,

Don’t be afraid, he’s come for all

 

And through His words you’ll know me better

Learn to live with one another

He has come to liberate you

Free from sin, and free to choose his ways

You’ll set him up, his name you’ll revile

Break his body, with thorns you’ll desecrate

Rip his cloak, break his back and defile

For thirty pieces of silver you’ll forsake him

 

But you will see the Lord of Lords

And you will know him by these signs,

Don’t be afraid, he’s come prepared

 

And he will rise up from the dark, dark death

He will conquer and will live again

It’s up to you now, do you want him

He is my son in whom I am well pleased!

 

Reprise

I offer you a child

Who too soon will be a boy,…

Far too soon to be a man.

He will return to me soon.
