My life is an altar
I lay it down as an offering
My tears are the oil that anoints Him
My faith is the fire that burns
Pre-Chorus
And I sing and I praise
With all that is within
For the gift goes on eternally
Chorus
The gift goes on
The gift goes on
A treasure of endless grace
That can never be exhausted
The gift goes on
Verse 2
My heart is a garden
I plant it with seeds of love
And water it with tears of forgiveness
And the flowers of compassion bloom
Pre-Chorus
And I sing and I praise
With all that is within
For the gift goes on eternally
Chorus
The gift goes on
The gift goes on
A treasure of endless grace
That can never be exhausted
The gift goes on
Bridge
The gift goes on through trials and tribulations
Through joy and through pain
Through life and through death
The gift goes on
Chorus
The gift goes on
The gift goes on
A treasure of endless grace
That can never be exhausted
The gift goes on
Outro
The gift goes on and on and on
Forever and ever and ever
Amen
