Every good gift and every perfect gift
is from above, coming down from
the Father of lights with whom there
is no variation or shadow due to change.
James 1:17
Came on the first Christmas, by the angels proclaimed
When they sang "Glory to God in the highest of places."
To the shepherds below, as they fell on their faces.
"For to you this day there is given a Savior."
And He is the Gift to those whom God favors.
Yes, He is the Gift that was sent from above
He was wrapped in humanity and destined to love
All those who now come to the manger to see
God in flesh now appearing, and on bended knee
They rejoice that the Gift came to loose captive's chains
To free those who know of sin's terrible pains.
The Gift went to Calvary, the Gift bled & died,
On a cross that was splintered, two thieves at His side.
The Gift went to Calvary, He went there in love,
To pay for our faults and transgressions thereof
The Gift died to bring us God's love & redemption.
The Gift was then buried but was raised from the grave,
For us to be sure that our sins God forgave.
Oh, let us rejoice as we think on the reason
This Gift came below to restore us to Eden.
