There’s a gift not wrapped beautifully
And placed beneath the tree,
Nor is this gift expensive;
It is priceless, yet it’s free.
It’s a gift that’s far more precious
Than the purest chain of gold;
It’s reserved not just for Christmas
And received by young and old.
It’s a gift that never gets too old;
It’s discovered fresh and new,
A gift that’s not forgotten
After used a year or two.
A gift that never can be bought
By riches or great price,
A gift that’s only paid for
By the precious blood of Christ.
And this gift that God has given
Is salvation full and free,
And when you have accepted it,
You’ll be thankful when you see
That at this Christmas season,
With this thought your heart will lift,
For you’ll know that you’ve been given
By far the Greatest Gift.
“Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”
(II Cor. 9:15)
