G        D               G         C           G 
When the kindness of our God was revealed in Jesus,  
        C                G         D  G 
with compassion and with love were we born.  
G         D           G          C                   G 
In the spirit of that love life abounds with thankfulness,  
        C               G      D   G 
for the gift we know in Jesus, the Christ.  
 
G                C      D           G 
May the grace of God be ever in our life;  
G      C             D               G 
with a song may gratitude become our home.  
G      C  D      G 
Alleluia, Alleluia.  
G      C  D      G 
Alleluia, Alleluia.  
 
G     D             G            C             G 
As we look into the deep, silent spaces beyond time,  
        C                  G    D        G 
hope is kindled bright for what we shall be.  
G      D                G               C                  G 
For in all that we have seen, known and loved with eyes of faith  
         C          G          D  G 
shall be woven into life never to die.  
 
G        D             G              C              G 
With the gentleness of peace, born in love of God as friend,  
        C              G              D  G 
so much healing and forgiveness shall we know.  
G        D                G           C             G 
And with peace is sure to come such a deep, abiding joy  
          C              G       D      G 
which the many deaths of life cannot dispel.  
 
G    D                G           C              G 
In diverse and sundry ways of the past did God reveal  
          C              G          D   G 
something of the love in which life can thrive.  
G      D              G            C                G 
But in Jesus did this love come to fullness for all time  
       C           G            D   G 
and in him we are alive with spirit joy.
