Below are the lyrics, musical notes, and reference Bible verses for the song, The Gift if You Believe. Each line contains 6 syllables to be sung with the rhythm of five quarter notes, one half note, and a quarter rest.
His judgement closes near A righteous judge to fear Your guilt you can't deny Your works do not rely The wrath of God is strong Eternity is long Don't reject what is true God sent his Son for you A Saviour without sin Our sins were placed on him Christ bore our sins it's why God's just to justify For us he bled and died Forsaken crucified Christ rose up from the dead Believe what God has said God's gift is offered free Earned not by you or me By grace our God forgives His righteousness he gives The gift if you believe Through faith you can receive For everlasting life Believe on Jesus Christ

There is a booklet of the song that provides a convenient way to share the song and can also function as a gospel tract. Below are the instructions to print and build the booklets.
Print the booklet PDF on both sides of 7 sheets of 8.5"x11" paper with zero margins.
Staple the binding of each of the 4 booklets with 1 or 2 staples per booklet. The binding of each booklet should be 2.75" from each short edge.
Use a paper cutter (or scissors) to cut the packet in half, and cut the resulting packets in half again, resulting in 4 pieces, each measuring 5.5" by 4.25".
Fold along the binding of each booklet.
You should end up with 4 booklets, each measuring 4.25" by 2.75".
I'm working on a system to make it easy for people to customize the booklets so please contact me if you would like to adjust any of the lyrics, musical notes, referenced verses, or to add a custom message promoting your ministry.

Listen
The song was composed to be sung without instruments, but in the arrangement below, the flute, French horn, and violin take turns playing solo passages in a simulated vocal relay at 120 BPM.
Below is me singing the song at around 80 BPM and two octaves lower than the notes shown above. I also added an alternate ending where I repeat the last two bars at half tempo.
