‘Twas the day after Christmas
And under the tree
Was an unopened gift
Remaining for me

In all the excitement
Of gifts we adored
It lay there unopened
Overlooked and ignored



My eyes filled with tears
As I came to my sense
For this unopened gift
Had cost God great expense

'Twas the Gift of Salvation
Wrapped in God's Love
Purchased by Jesus
With His own Precious Blood



Thanking God there was grace
To receive this great Treasure
To begin life anew
And have joy without measure

I fell to my knees
And He tore off the strings
That had my heart bound
By life's worthless things



The Gift is now opened
The Treasure revealed
My soul is now saved
By His Spirit I'm sealed!
