Victory Songs ‎#8

8. He Gives the Power.

1 Jesus came to earth by a lowly birth,
Gave Himself as an off'ring of matchless worth;
To His own He came in His Father’s name,
But they scorned to receive Him their King.

Chorus:
But as many as received Him to them He gave the pow'r,
The power to become the sons of God;
But as many as received Him to them He gave the pow'r
To become the sons of God.

2 Grace and pardon free, all for you and me,
Ev'ry one who receives Him a son may be;
For His blood He spilt to remove our guilt,
When He offered Himself once for all. [Chorus]

3. Not by works we come as the Father’s Son,
To receive as a welcome the words "well done;"
Lest we fain would boast as a mighty host,
Knowing not ’tis the free gift of God. [Chorus]
