The Perfect Gift The lights are all hung, the cookies all cooked For just the right presents I have looked and looked With family and friends all around, this Christmas will be just right Have I remembered the true meaning, that star so bright For all my blessings I will praise God on bended knee But as I pause to look around, there are those I see So many are hurting, with nothing to spare I wish there was a way to show them I care If I could take love and wrap it so neat With bright Christmas paper, that would be sweet But how can I give it to everyone? God already has in His only Son He gave us His love on that first Christmas day Wrapped in swaddling clothes asleep in the hay There were no decorations, no ornaments hung on a tree This perfect gift was sent to set us free For you see God’s love has no beginning or end He knew from before creation His son He would send Christ walked among us so meek and so mild Layed down His life, now God calls us child Faith, hope and love, the greatest is love God’s perfect gift He sent from above His love you have felt, His message you have heard Now share it with others by spreading His Word Tell of the forgiveness, mercy and grace He gave As a newborn baby by whom we are saved Thank you Lord Jesus in that manger you lay You alone are the truth, the life and the way Along with this gift come peace, joy and rest God’s Holy Word still says it best For unto us a child is born , unto us a son is given : and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor , The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. |
