The First Gift
Christmas is a time for giving.
Christmas should be a whole lot more.
A time for loving, time for living
A time the Christ Child to adore,
To shout His name from shore to shore.
God sent his Child, his own dear Son,
And angels sang, the tale to tell.
First Christmas gift for everyone
Ring loud, ring long, the Christmas bell.
The Christ has come on Earth to dwell.
His birth, though happening long ago
In humble manger lined with hay,
Still puts a very happy glow
In human hearts on Christmas Day.
God sent him forth our sins to pay.
