Feeling a bit solemn this morning and I remembered this song from when I went to EFY that year in 2006. That beginning arrangement always feels like it’s swooping through me like a cleanse and then the message comes with Felicia’s beautiful voice. I lost the cd years ago so glad it’s on here. 🙏
The Greatest Gift - Dan Cahoon Holy One, Sacred Son, Creator of worlds without number. Eyes that see so perfectly, He knows the deepest part of me, And feels every burden that I′m under. Yearning heart, torn apart, Fighting my fear and my weakness. Putting all my faith in Him, I reach out, He reaches in, And changes my anguish to sweetness. I stand all amazed, Astounded by His grace. He rescues me each time I start to fall. He lays His hands on me. What once was dead now breathes. The life he gives is the greatest gift of all, To me. Sinless life, pain and strife, The power of death could not hold Him. He accepts what I can bring And sanctifies my offering. Until my eyes can finally behold him. I stand all amazed. Astounded by His grace. He rescues me each time I start to fall. He lays his hands on me. What once was dead now breaths. The life he gives is the greatest gift to me. And when I reach the end of all my days If I have proven faithful to his ways. He lays His hands on me. What once was dead will breathe. With perfect love He'll raise me up And make my soul complete. He′ll give the greatest gift of all to me. Oh, it is wonderful to me.
I so love this song...

The Greatest Gift - Dan Cahoon
Holy One, Sacred Son,
Creator of worlds without number.
Eyes that see so perfectly,
He knows the deepest part of me,
And feels every burden that I′m under.
Yearning heart, torn apart,
Fighting my fear and my weakness.
Putting all my faith in Him,
I reach out, He reaches in,
And changes my anguish to sweetness.
I stand all amazed,
Astounded by His grace.
He rescues me each time I start to fall.
He lays His hands on me.
What once was dead now breathes.
The life he gives is the greatest gift of all, To me.
Sinless life, pain and strife,
The power of death could not hold Him.
He accepts what I can bring
And sanctifies my offering.
Until my eyes can finally behold him.
I stand all amazed.
Astounded by His grace.
He rescues me each time I start to fall.
He lays his hands on me.
What once was dead now breaths.
The life he gives is the greatest gift to me.
And when I reach the end of all my days
If I have proven faithful to his ways.
He lays His hands on me.
What once was dead will breathe.
With perfect love
He'll raise me up
And make my soul complete.
He′ll give the greatest gift of all to me.
Oh, it is wonderful to me.
