The Greatest Gift Of All
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
I am amazed, whene'er I think Of this gift that God did give--- His only Son died in our place; Jesus died, that we might live.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/mangertwinstars.jpg) Jesus was Himself imprisoned, So that we might be set free; This innocent man was beaten, With stripes meant for you and me.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/mangertwinstars.jpg) Jesus wore a crown of thorns, So we might wear a golden crown; His blood stained His robe crimson red, That we might wear a pure white gown.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/mangertwinstars.jpg) Jesus bore a heavy wooden cross Up that hill called Calvary; He was spit upon, and mocked, But He did it all for you and me.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/mangertwinstars.jpg) There on the cross, In misery, A sword pierced through His side; When, finally, crying out to God, This blessed Savior died.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/mangertwinstars.jpg) Why did God ever love us so? To give up His only Son? We never deserved so great a love, But He loves us, every one.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images2/mangertwinstars.jpg) Jesus died, for you and me; A precious gift, so freely given, That we might have eternal life, With Him, in the glories of heaven.
