We have felt the anticipation
When presented with a gift;
It’s the joy in not knowing
What possibly could be in our midst.
It’s the desire to unwrap
With the element of surprise,
And discover the hidden beauty
With that hunger in our eyes.
Although our gifts are thoughtful
They will perish eventually,
Because we simply cannot carry them
Into eternity.
There’s a gift that lasts forever
And He hung upon a tree,
Becoming a curse who took our place
So from our sins we are set free.
This gift is Jesus Christ;
All wrapped up in love and grace,
Who unravelled Himself as the Messiah
So God’s rejection we do not face.
And this gift is the greatest
Although He humbled Himself indeed,
To present us spotless to the Father
When for our souls He’d intercede.
This gift is so priceless
But bought by His precious blood,
Because our greatest friend lay down His life
When He unfolded His deepest love.
And His presence will abound
When we trust in Jesus Christ,
Who was crucified but rose again
Full of majesty and light.
