| THE GIFT........ A CHRISTMAS POEM
On Christmas day we gladly lift And open the presents waiting there But not so eager to take Gods' gift To receive it from Him we do not care It came not tied in ribbon bow No fancy paper wrapped it there No Christmas tree sheltered it below It lay in a stable cold and bare Wrapped in cloth in manger bed A gift so precious in cattle stall And in its straw where beasts were fed A boy child lay weak and small No more precious gift was ever given It cost its sender everything God sent His Son down from Heaven So He could salvation bring He wrapped this gift with His own love And told His angels shining bright Go tell the shepherds that I above Have sent you my dear Son tonight Hark; the herald angels sang Go ye men be filled with joy And while the heavens with praises rang The shepherds went to see Mary's boy Oh glorious night when shepherds knelt Beside the babe lying in bed of straw And their hearts quickly melt When the Son of God they saw He no longer is a little boy This babe the shepherds went to see But now in Him eternal joy For He died and rose for you and me On Christmas day there is mirth When in celebration your voices lift Remember this was Jesus' birth And He is offered to you as Gods' most precious gift © Colin Moffett |
