Gifts come in shiny packages
Tied up with string
Bows and ribbon
Adorn and glisten
Some are brown paper
Yet treasures within
Given with heart
Surprise me again!
Jesus is the Greatest
The Gift without end
His is forever
No beginning, no end
Some gifts are harder
The ones with the pain
Tears stain the paper
Can I give this one back?
The Master chose this gift
Carefully and with love
Though I don’t understand
It came from His nail-pierced hands
