The Gift
The giving of gifts started a long time ago
It didn’t come in box
It didn’t come with snow
It begins with a mother’s love
And a father’s aspiration
Then passed onto their children with
Wisdom and inspiration
Sons and daughters grew from what they’ve heard
Their heart and soul filled with God’s word
And as the sons and daughters reach for their children to embrace
The little ones could feel God’s ever present grace
The giving of gifts doesn’t come in a box or from a store
It starts in the heart at its very core
It’s spreads to family and friends very dear
And reaches throughout the world
All through the year
The gift of his love has no bound
The message of his gift rejoice with great sound
His word and his love given all year around
It began in the father’s heart his most precious thing
On a starry night our newborn king
