Lyrics

VER 1
THE FIRST TIME YOU HEAR IT, IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE
THERE'S GOT TO BE MORE TO IT LIKE A SET OF RULES
A "DO THIS, NOT THAT" LIST
BUT ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS ACCEPT THE GIFT

VER 2
"WHAT MUST I GIVE IN RETURN" MAY BE THE NEXT THING YOU SAY
THROUGH-OUT LIFE YOU SAY THAT YOU'VE LEARNED
YOU DON'T GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING UNLESS YOU PAY
BUT FRIENDS THE DEBTS BEEN PAID, NOW JUST ACCEPT THE GIFT THAT HE GAVE

CHORUS
ACCEPT THE GIFT NO STRINGS ATTACHED
ACCEPT THE GIFT IT'S AS SIMPLE, SIMPLE AS THAT

VER 3
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WHOLE WORLD THAT ON THE CROSS HE LET MAN LIFT
THE ONLY SON THAT HE HAD, THE ONLY ACCEPTED PERFECT GIFT
BUT DON'T NEED PROFOUND THEOLOGY, TO EXPLAIN THAT CHRIST LIVED AN' DIED FOR YOU AND ME

CHORUS
