Story behind the song
Lyrics and Melody by Andrew Scott
Vocals: Andrew Scott, Zach Simon
Everything else (midi tracks, guitar, mixing) by Andrew Scott
This was meant to remind me of fancy church services I attended when a boy growing up in Charlottesville, VA. Every once in awhile at St. Paul's, there would be 'brass' accompanying the choir. I always liked that. At St. Paul's, they also always had these felt banners, proclaiming "god is love". That resonated with me.. still does!
"the greatest of these is love"
Lyrics
God’s Gift is Love
G Am D Em G Am D G Am D Em C D
In the beginning was the word. And the word with God did dwell
God’s word made flesh in the gift of a child: His name, Emanuel.
Oh Emanuel is God with us. His spirit lives today
In the heart of a child, a mother’s smile, and in every caring word we say:
God’s gift is love. Love, his gift is love. He gave his only son
God’s gift is love. Love, his gift is love. God’s gift: our victory won
Love. God’s Gift is Love
Feeding the hungry, blessing the poor, healing the sick and the lame
Promising life forevermore, for all with faith in His name
Bearing the weight of the sins of the world, on the cross at Calgary
Oh Jesus Christ, his sacrifice: God’s gift to you and to me.
God’s gift is love G Am C Em D G Am D
Symbol of love, the wedding band. The two shall live as one
The knot that’s bound by heavens hand can never be undone
The bridegroom gives his loving heart. And her to him her love
To each the gift of grace and life: God’s blessing from above
God’s gift is love..
Love thy neighbor, love the lord. Our lord God does command
God gave his son, whom heaven adored, that all might understand
That love is patient. Love is kind. Love always perseveres
And in God’s perfect love we find a path for life appears
Yes God’s gift is love..
