This was inspired by a friend who told me the gospel seemed too good to be true.

Too Good to Be True
Ephesians 1 and 2
Too good to be true! I’m afraid to believe
That God cares enough about people like me
To offer salvation that we might receive
His life everlasting entirely free.
Chorus
Too good to be true; it’s too good to be true
And yet I believe it, By faith I receive it,
And walk in His blessings: Do you?
Too good to be true! But it’s true nonetheless.
The promises made by the world are all lies,
But God can be trusted, who’s ready to bless,
And gives us good gifts that I dare not despise.
Too good to be true, but He gave us His Son,
Who died for our sins and has risen above.
Predestined in Him, our position is won,
Adopted as children and wrapped in His love.
Too good to be true, but we stand on a Rock.
By faith, and not works, we are saved and sustained;
Made holy in Christ, we are able to walk
In works that the Father beforehand ordained.
