The Gift

My lover's eyes came into mine Her pain so clear to see New life inside had chose its time This day the miracle would be I invited the Lord to minister us His presence so much in need In Him we'd placed entire trust To harvest our man child seed She wrenched, she moaned, she cried I'm helpless to intervene Then God reached down his mighty hand And calm became the scene My wife thrust forward her aching loins A son was given birth The Master's gift was ours to reap A new treasure of the Earth Copyright 1993 Iger Rolyat All Rights Reserved
