God Gave The World
(The Perfect Gift)
Many thanks to Ed Dowdall for allowing us to use this song in our Christmas play, The Perfect Gift. Rhesa created the wonderful midi file and background for the recording. Susan Tolle-Knight sang the recording. - Elton, May 29, 2000
(Introduction)
(Verse 1)
God gave the world the Word made flesh
The tiny babe the silent creche.
God gave the world on this darkest night
His only Son, His glorious light
(Chorus)
God gave the world
God gave the world
God gave the world
The perfect gift
(Verse 2)
God gave the world what none could give
His child to die, that we might live
God gave the world when hope was gone
A second chance, a bright new dawn
(Repeat Chorus)
God gave the world
God gave the world
God gave the world
The perfect gift
(Verse 3)
God gave the world the perfect gift
This Holy child our souls to lift
It matters not though we may stray
The gift He gives still gives today
(Repeat Chorus)
God gave the world
God gave the world
God gave the world
The perfect gift
God gave the world
The perfect gift
