Thanks Be To God by Graham Kendrick from The Gift (Make Way For Christmas)

The Gift is more than a seasonal listening experience, it has become firmly established as the basis for numerous joyful Christmas events, indoors or outdoors and is widely used as a kind of 'Christmas party for Jesus'.
A resource of seasonal songs to help build bridges to those for whom the Christmas story has little relevance today.
Originally released in 1988, The Gift is now available as a double CD with Rumours of Angels
Father, never was love so near
Tender, my deepest wounds to heal
Precious to me
Your gift of love
For me you gave your only Son
And now thanks be to God
For his gift beyond words
The Son whom he loved
No, he did not withhold him
But with him gave everything
Now he's everything to me
Jesus, the heart of God revealed
With us, feeling the pain we feel
Cut to the heart
Wounded for me
Taking the blame
Making me clean
Graham Kendrick
