Such a good Giver is our Lord.

God is so rich and can afford

To give us blessings from above;

His gifts He longs to give with love.

But we must willingly receive

Those gifts from Him and just believe

That all good gifts come from above;

Come from our God, our God of love.

***

But there’s a problem we must face,

One shared by all the human race:

The problem is that we believe

Unless we earn, we can’t receive

The blessings that God has for us.

It’s hard for humans just to trust

That gifts from God are really free,

And given unconditionally.

***

The greatest gift God ever gave

Was Jesus Christ, our souls to save.

His Son died there on Calvary;

He shed His blood for you and me.

We only need to just believe,

And then be willing to receive

The greatest gift there’ll ever be,

So we can live eternally.

***

To just receive this gift that’s free

Is humbling for you and me,

And many won’t believe today;

They try to find another way.

A good receiver they won’t be;

They’d rather risk eternity

Than yield to God and simply say:

"Salvation free, I want today."

***

But there are those who will believe,

Salvation willingly receive.

And when Christ lives within their heart,

It’s only just the place to start

Receiving gifts from up above.

There’s so much more our God would love

To share with us, to give us free;

Gifts that He has for you and me.

***

Salvation’s like a treasure chest

That’s filled with gifts with which we’re blessed.

Let’s open up the chest and see

What God has there for you and me.

There’s love and peace and righteousness

Abounding in the treasure chest.

I’m naming only just a few

To be received by me--you, too.

***

So long we have been taught to earn

God’s love, but now we need to learn

Each day God’s love to us is free,

And given unconditionally.

It is a gift you must receive.

You really need to just believe

No matter what you say or do,

God always is in love with you.

***

The gift of peace that’s in that chest

Is such a gift with which you’re blessed.

God always is at peace with you;

It is not based on what you do.

A gift it is--won’t you believe?

Each day God’s peace, oh, just receive.

This peace for which the world does long,

This gift, it does to you belong.

***

God sees you righteous in His sight;

He sees you that way day and night.

"Their righteousness shall be of Me";

It’s Christ in us that God does see.

Trust in Christ’s righteousness alone;

Oh, Christian, do not trust your own.

A good receiver you can be,

Receiving righteousness that’s free.

***

As I said, these are just a few

Of all the gifts God has for you.

There’s also joy and faithfulness,

And self-control and gentleness;

Humility and patience, too,

Are gifts God longs to give to you.

They’re in salvation’s treasure chest;

Receive them free and you’ll be blessed.
