The Gift of Love

See him - lowly,
cradled there,
a helpless child
of maiden fair -
God's gift of love.

See him - nailed,
in agony,
praying life
for you and me -
God's gift of love.

See him risen -
empty grave,
word of hope,
power to save -
God's gift of love.

See him, hear him,
give him place,
take and tell
the word of grace -
God's gift of love.
