Well here it is, another Christmas dawn
Presents under the tree, waiting to be opened
Family scattered all year long
Will come over to open their gifts with faces so forlorn

Some will get depressed to know their gift is not what they wanted
Grieving the spirit of the one who presented

I wonder do they know it is not their birthday
Perhaps everyone would see the giver of gifts this year
In a new and Spiritual way

The presents should not be given to you and me
Especially to those who do not believe

I thought to myself, what does Jesus think
When He looks down here and sees the selfishness within

Perhaps this year will be different
Maybe this year one will renege and give in

Maybe even one will see the light
The true gift is not bought with credit card or money.
It cost a very high price
The true gift was bought with the blood of Jesus the Christ
Shed on a hill called Calvary, for you and me honey

Perhaps, just perhaps one will give in
To the constant knocking of their heart within
It is only Jesus asking, please, may I come in?

The gift He wants to give you is himself.
It is His Birthday and He already paid the price
Everyone is invited; let us open up the gifts
It is already in your Spirit
Open up your heart and invite Him inside...
