God's Gift

Copyright © December 1998, James A. Pharis, Jr.

The gift he gave to all mankind,

We celebrate each Christmas time.

His gift to us we now remind

Is a gift only if he's mine.

To give to us his greatest gift,

He parted with his greatest love.

It is not lost from him you see,

As Christ becomes our treasure trove.

We can receive this greatest gift

Only if we ourselves outpour.

To receive from him is to give

Ourselves in trust forevermore.
