Story Behind The Song
The absolutely free gift of salvation, the unearned, undeserved gift of God, whose love is ours... no strings attached!
Song Description
Bible passages that the lyrics echo are:
I Corinthians 2:9
However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." 10but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
John 3:5-7 5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
The absolutely free gift of salvation, the unearned, undeserved gift of God, whose love is ours... no strings attached!

Lyrics
God, You gave life and love and choice, and a free and independent voice,
To us, You give, no strings attached, giving more than we deserve to have.
Beyond horizons we can't see, Heaven waiting patiently
The gate is locked, so to get through, we can still be born again through You,
No eyes have seen, No ears have heard,
No mind conceives what You prepare.
You will Your love to us, unearned... Salvation, Free and Undeserved.
Flesh gives birth to flesh with sin
So spirit must be born to spirit
Through Holy water, blessed, we receive Grace and innocence
You give these gifts so free and clear, upon these heads that bow in prayer.
All because You love Us, and in return expecting nothing.
No eyes have seen, No ears have heard
No mind conceives what You prepare
You will Your love to us, unearned.
Salvation, Free and Undeserved.
