This is not a gift
With golden bow
Sitting beneath
The old pine tree,
Wrapped with paper,
Sealed with tape
And only just for me.
This is not a gift
Made with hands
Which moth
and rust destroy.
A jewellery piece;
Clothes of wool;
A child's most favoured toy.
This is not a gift
To be forgot':
Hidden away
From all to see.
Unwanted game,
Disliked perfume,
From under the Christmas tree
Disliked perfume,
From under the Christmas tree
He is God's Gift:
Incarnate,
In a manger laid.
Wrapped in swaddling
Bands of cloth
To the world -
He gave
He is God's gift
Not made with hands!
No man can e'er destroy.
The King of glory
Came to save
Man, woman,
Girl and boy.
.
He is the greatest gift from God!
A Redeemer
from on high.
King of angels;
devils, men -
To Jesus
sinners fly.
One day the Greatest Gift for man
Will return with trumpet blast.
Surrounded by His heavenly host
The King will return
At Last!
