[13] Precious Gifts
[Verse 1]
In this world
so full of sin and darkness of the soul,
the Lord gave me
the light of peace and comfort.
I was caught up in destruction
but the Lord gave me hope
I was foolish,
but He made me wise
with the wisdom to be whole.
He let me call "Abba, Father".
I'm His child. He's my heavenly Father.
We've been changed
by the hope and the power
the Lord has given us.
The word of life from the shepherd
has changed our lives.
Now we can be the children
who please the Father God.
As the precious fruit of the shepherd,
we're the fruit of His love, too.
Then He lets us call Him "Abba, Father"
as His child. He's our heavenly Father.
There's a gift we hold precious and true.
It is the name of Jesus Christ.
With the fire like power of the Holy Spirit's fire,
we have hope for New Jerusalem.
[Refrain]
Yes! Let us rise up. There is no turning back.
For the Father, work without hesitation.
We have the Father's promise
and the Word that is the truth.
Let's be one who gives Him our heart.
[Verse 2]
On this earth souls are dying
without being shown the way.
Let us rise up and share the light
that's been shared with us,
the light that leads from destruction
and fills us with hope.
We can cast off all life's foolish things,
and gain wisdom for the soul.
Now we call out "Abba, Abba Father"
as His child. He's our heavenly Father.
The other gift that's precious to us,
His name is the Helper the Holy Spirit.
To march on toward perfect faith
and pray for men's lost souls,
they're the gifts that He's given to us.
