GIFT OF LOVE

1. I 've spread out the heavens before me 

And separated night from day.

I've caused the ocean waves to crash 

And dogs and cats to play.

I have done all this and more 

With just a spoken word,

Yet fail to captivate your heart 

With the message you've heard:

CHORUS

I love you, and always have before all time began.

I've set you apart from all the rest to follow my perfect plan.

No need to prove yourself to me;  no voices from above.

There's just one thing I ask of you: receive my gift of Love.

2. I've caused the rain and snow to fall 

To water all the earth.

I've caused the birds and bees to mate 

And women to give birth.

I've watched you laugh and cry;  

I've looked inside your heart.

You try too hard to win my love;  

It's tearing me apart.    [chorus]

BRIDGE

I created eternity so we could be together 

Together in love ... forever ... forever ... forever.  [chorus]

POWER

1. From the ashes You arose

Like the phoenix to new life.

Death and sin - Your greatest foes

You've conquered with Your power and might.

Take away this fearful dread

Of falling prey to all who hate.

"Trust in Me", is what You've said.

Your power in me I will await.

CHORUS

Lead me and guide me, my awesome King.

Show me the strength of Your great power.

My weakness and fear is all I bring

With You at my side I can do anything!

Come now;  save me in this hour.

2. Now Your enemies hide in shame;

Your victory has done them in.

The battle's mine — in Your name

For You've defeated death and sin.

From the grave, You rose triumphant

Death will harm You never more.

The victory You've given to me

Is mine to have.  It's You I adore.   [chorus]

BRIDGE

My weakness is Your strength

For that is when I feel Your power. (3x)

Jesus, come and be my Power.   [chorus]
