The Gift

The Gift

God breathed the Scriptures and arranged for them
To be recorded for the use and benefit of men

Daily I see folks who have Bibles but won't read
Some do but still don't have enough will to heed

Our beloved preacher bringing to us from God's Word
Messages and encouragement, the best ever heard

Once, just before Christmas, he explained it like this
By describing the most dear and beautiful gift

Given with the greatest love anyone could receive
It was rejected and refused, they would not believe

Folks, let me tell you, it almost makes me cry
To think of the Gift, who for me, came to die

Saying "Father forgive them, they know not what they do"
Could there be again such a gift for me or for you?

Dear God, it is Christmas and I know well the reason
Why I celebrate each year during the winter season

I have accepted your Gift, and also the preacher
Who loves You as I do, a God fearing creature

We both strive to bring increase to Your fold
Please bless our work Lord, until we grow too old
