The Gift
Gather children and give an ear
Listen to a history and give a cheer
It is an example of such great love
A personal gift from God above
It starts off with a love complete
A love so powerful and so sweet
A love that combines mercy and grace
That allows us to seek God’s face
It is a true story of an obedient heart
God had this planned from the start
A chance to rescue man who is fallen
An offer to each heart, He is callin’
It has been prophesied and foretold
Yet too many people have been fooled
Believing lies that such love cannot exist
So hardened hearts refuse and resist
But another heart was willing to obey
She believed what the angel had to say
An obedient heart pushed beyond the scary
To accept what God had in store for Mary
Unto this precious woman a child will be born
One whom the world will hate and scorn
One who chose to come to suffer and die
To save those when on His Name they cry
Joseph and Mary suffered much shame
But chose to obey God just the same
Shame and controversy of a virgin birth
A sacrifice of tremendous worth
Troubles and trials pursued the both of them
Including their travels to the town of Bethlehem
Receiving little help from family or stranger
Allowed the birth to take place in a manger
From this humble birth to the crucifixion
Beyond the death and on to the Resurrection
A perfect gift from Our Father above
The sacrifice of His Only Son, for love…
