My Christmas Gift ~
I wish and
I wish for my special Christmas
Gift
Something for Jesus, that I can
give,
For Christmas is giving, with
hope, a prayer
An angel on top of the tree must
be there
Christmas this year, my loving
friend
For Baby Jesus, what shall we
share
I wish and I wish, with stars in
my eyes
A snow filled night, all warm
without fear
A nice little dinner, as I
wonder and wonder
Will Baby Jesus, be happy I'm
here
I dream and I dream, of
wonderful things
What should I give....The King
of Kings
I have no money, nothing to
share
Will The Baby Jesus, be happy
this year
One Christmas Eve, oh Holy Night
All the children, fast asleep in
their beds
It was silent, as snow softly
fell
A little boy put on his boots
Walked outside, 'twas very still
It was so much colder, than he
ever knew
Was The Baby Jesus, this chilly
too
It was then that he saw, the
bright starry light
Coming from a manger, not far
from sight
He went in and saw the donkeys
and lambs
The owls and the chickens, soft
in his hand
He saw the wise men laying their
gifts
Beautifully bright, as love ever
gives
He crept near the Baby Jesus, in
manger stall
And heard the angels singing,
good will to all
He whispered to mother, Mary
"It is cold outside, I have no
Christmas Gift
Only the coat on my back
If you would be so kind,
I would like the baby wrapped in
that"
Mary smiled, wrapped Baby Jesus
in the coat
A little drummer boy came
and played 'pon his drum,
For a whole life to come,
This is, Christmas love
The Baby Jesus smiled
at all the friends He had made,
Then the boy ran home in the
snow
so glad, 'twas his coat he gave.
His mother and father, were
waiting at the door
They asked, where is the coat,
you always wore,
He said look there, at the light
far away
My Jesus is warm, my coat's His
today
There were surprised, he gave
his coat to The Lord
But now knew that love,
was the gift of Christmas day
