God gave his son

God gave his son, his only son,
to pay for sins that we have done.
The greatest gift that God could give
was crucified so we could live.

2. He gave his all to save his own,
the ones he chose to wear his crown.
He counts his purchased children dear,
we have no need to doubt or fear.

3. We’re in a mighty Father’s care,
in perfect peace and safety there.
Though all should hate us, one above
still loves us with a constant love.
