We treasure some
and prize
the costly thought,
but then deride
some cheap or trivial gift
that comes our way.
But no one would conceive
that the greatest Gift we’d leave
untouched, unrecognised,
or worse – despised!
The greatest Gift –
the Life was given
a Baby small
in manger lain.
He came because of love
for you and me.
At greatest cost he came –
the one whom they defamed
to death upon a cross –
to rescue us from loss.
The greatest Gift –
the Baby small
is not contained
in oxen stall –
he paid the price
to set us free!
Nor could the grave contain
the Saviour who was slain!
’Tis certain that he lives –
receive the life he gives!
