Do I Really Need Another Christmas Present
This is a question to really shock you
as folk get into a panic to buy gifts
racking their brains what do they get?
when the receiver really hasn't got a clue
Now nearly reaching my three score and ten
what do I really need at my time in life
material gifts lose their so called desire
paying over the odds among all the strife
What price is it for what I really want?
like sense of peace in my soul
to know God loves me no matter what
what contentment this brings as my goal
Then consider having a real holy joy
no more mumps and moans to express
but finding a real depth down inside
joyfulness, a cover for my heavenly dress
No money can buy true inner calmness
so much unfulfilled inner satisfaction
but even if words for me just don't come
peace like a river produces a chain reaction
Peace joy and calm
three blessed gifts so rare
no money can buy them
only God gives these to share
