First Christmas Gift
First Christmas gift—God sent his son
To live as man until work done.
He came to us, mankind to save,
So loved the world His life he gave.
A gift like this, can’t be outdone.
He suffered slights, task had begun
To capture Earth without a gun.
Our treachery the Christ forgave,
First Christmas gift!
Christmas is near, before it’s done
We hope to find amidst the fun
A gift so rare as Infant brave.
A love like his we dearly crave.
Why is it then His gift we shun?.
First Christmas gift!
