A Christmas Gift

A Christmas gift’s a cherished prize
To heart and soul, to mind and eyes
For wrapped within a glistening bow
is grace from God that’s been bestowed

The love entwinded in paper wrap
so gently placed upon your lap
is written in the eyes of one
who’s joy was wrought from God’s own Son

A little Child’s grace unfurled
at Christmas time, enchants the world
And from a manger reaches far
beyond the space of earth and star

It fills the heart and stirs the soul
to recognize the wondrous whole
of earth and heaven, God and man
unveiled by Infant’s tiny hand

The Glory of His Love departs
at Christmas time from loving hearts
Its wonder lit by candle’s glow
and wrapped beneath a sparkling bow
