Analysis of Freely
Verse1
God has given love
through the death of His only Son.
This gift of love
and gift of life
has for me new life begun.
Verse2
Jesus left heaven's splendor
and gave up every right;
that in my sin
and in my darkness,
I may see the light.
Verse 3
As costly as this was,
all this was given free.
This gift of grace
and gift of hope
has been given now to me.
Chorus
Freely I've received and freely I must give.
Freely He has given of these riches from above.
Freely I've received and freely I must give.
Freely I must share with you the riches of His love.
