The Greatest Gift

The Gift of a Lifetime
By Claire Cloninger & Kathy Frizzell 

Before I looked for You
You found me
Before I knew Your name
You knew mine
Before I spoke the prayer
Your precious gift was there
One I never thought I'd find

Chorus
The gift of a lifetime
That's what You gave
Your life as an offering
My life to save
Turning my song of tears
To an anthem of praise
For the gift that You gave
The lift of a lifetime.

It's more than just Your
Hand of blessing
It's who You are
Yourself that I need
And with an open heart
I now receive You Lord
And the life You bring to me

Chorus
The gift of a lifetime
That's what You gave
Your life as an offering
My life to save
Turning my song of tears
To an anthem of praise
For the gift that You gave
The gift of a lifetime
Into the pain that I
Thought I could hide
You brought the gift
Of Your very life

Chorus
The gift of a lifetime
That's what You gave
Your life as an offering
My life to save
Turning my song of tears
To an anthem of praise
For the gift that You gave
The gift that You gave

The gift of a lifetime
That's what You gave
Your life as an offering
My life to save
Turning my song of tears
To an anthem of praise
For the gift that You gave
Is the gift of a lifetime
I'll lift this anthem of praise
For the gift that You gave
The gift of a lifetime
A lifetime
