Unearned
Earn a promotion, earn a raise
Earn touchdown for good football plays
Earn gold medal or blue ribbon
Earn leading role for play you're in
Earn soccer trophy, scholarship
Earn respect in a relationship
Earn settlement in legal suit
Earn recognition playing flute
While every one of those is nice
Won't earn your way to paradise
It's not something you can work for
Only one way opens that door
It's a free gift! Can you believe it!
The one thing to do is receive it
Accept that Jesus is the Christ
And then can live in paradise
It seems too simple to be true
For surely there is more to do
In this life, everyone has learned
All things of value must be earned
How could this gift be freely given
A golden ticket into heaven
Not really free - cost dearest price
Through broken body of our Christ
For with his death, sin's bill was paid
Then rose so we could all be saved
All done because of unearned love
From God, our Father up above
Don't strive to earn it anymore
Just worship One who our sins bore
And to his will gladly submit
Give him all praise, for he's earned it
