~ MY CHRISTMAS GIFT ~
What wondrous gift can I give Him,
when to me He gives His all?
How can I ever say thank you,
when the words just seem too small?
I can say my prayers each morning,
give smiles to all whom I see,
offer up my heart and my hand
to others who are in need.
I can read my scriptures each day,
praying to find what is true,
I can learn of my Savior's life,
His pathway I can pursue.
And though this gift is not wrapped up,
in satin and pretty lace,
it’s a gift I can proudly give,
a gift that will light up His face.
So here is my gift, dear Savior,
one that is offered with love,
and someday we’ll share our Christmas,
in Heaven’s great home above.
