Lyrics and Chords

His gift was love   From the album, ‘Stir into Flame’

During a bleak and desperate night, when the darkness of depression threatened, I cried out for help, and was given strength in

the chorus of this song; the first I’d ever written.  Avril

Intro: 2G . . .

2G                      C                          D

He only wanted peace,  oo-oo-oo-oo

                             G                 Em

He only wanted peace, oo-oo-oo-oo

                           Am                    D

He only wanted peace. oo-oo-oo-oo

                                              G

But they fought Him all the way

Chorus:

                       C                    D

His gift was love, oo-oo-oo-oo

                      G                 Em

His gift was love, oo-oo-oo-oo  

                      Am                  D

His gift was love, oo-oo-oo-oo

                                G

and He gave it all away.

He only wanted truth, oo-oo-oo-

He only wanted truth,  oo-oo-oo-

He only wanted truth,  oo-oo-oo-

But they scoffed Him all the way. Chorus

He bought us innocence,  oo-oo-oo-

He bought us innocence,  oo-oo-oo-

He bought us innocence, oo-oo-oo-

But they nailed it to the tree. Chorus

Final chorus:

His gift is still love,  oo-oo-oo-

His gift is still love,   oo-oo-oo-

His gift is still love, and He’s giving it away.

Take it now and make it yours.                                                                             ©1985 Avril Pease
