Agift

A Gift
by M. Griswold
05032020

A gift for you I wish to make.
From a heart held in pressing ache.
This gift is free no strings to hold.
It's wrappings are truths to unfold.

A gift for you to make you free.
Of  joy and freedom that could be.
To help you learn of wisdom to grow.
And open your eyes so you may know.

A gift for you that lifts when you fall.
Of a love so complete it sacrifices all.
This gift I give is of a truth I was told.
About a friend who lived in days of old.

A gift given to those who are all fully lost.
Of a life offered for you at the ultimate cost.
For our sins this man has taken for us all.
So you may walk and live in Kingdom's Hall.
