To destroy the works of the evil one
And the kingdom of darkness with light
And to rescue men from the law and sin
This is the Gospel of Christ
To proclaim good news unto the poor
And the brokenhearted new life
And for those who mourn
Heaven’s Child is born
This is the Gospel of Christ
And to God be the glory
And to God be the glory
And to God be the glory
This is the Gospel of Christ
To redeem a people He calls His own
From ev’ry nation tonnegue and tribe
Purchased by the blood He shed with love
This is the Gospel of Christ
And to rise again and to conquer death
He’ll return like a thief in the night
And He will reign on high
Forever with His bride
This is the Gospel of Christ
