At Christmas, every time we choose a gift
Would it be to remember the love
God chose to give
Through His own precious Son
While we quietly wrap, may we think
How He enfolded the world in that love
When, only to die
He came from above
In the fastening with tape, could we ponder
How secure now we are
Held forever
In the love of His heart
By the tying of ribbon, might it remind how
Covered we are by His sacrifice
When spreading His arms wide
He gave us His life
Then, in the topping of the gift
With the prettiest bow
Our hearts would but overflow in thanks
For the love of the Savior we know
Jesus, the gift of all gifts
At Christmas and always God loves to give

"God Gave The World"
God gave the world the Word made flesh
The tiny babe the silent creche.
God gave the world on this dark night
His only Son, His glorious light
God gave the world
The perfect gift
God gave the world what none could give
His child to die, that we might live
May God bless you with a wonderful CHRISTmas
filled with the warmth of His presence
in the giving of gifts in your home
Merry CHRISTmas
