The ONE gift

I could give you clothes, they someday would be worn out
I could give you toys, they someday may be broken
I could give you candy, it soon would be eaten
I could give you money, it soon would be spent
I could give you books, they soon would be read
I could give you pets, they , too will grow old and die
Nothing that I give you in this world will last


There is one gift above all gifts
The gift of having your sins forgiven
The gift of knowing you shall reach heaven
The gift of God's Spirit living within
Enabling you to overcome sin
That gift is God's dear Son,
For He the victory has won

I offer you God's gift today
There is no way that you can pay
The Lord Jesus Christ has paid the price
It does not depend on whether you are naughty or nice
By faith believe Jesus died for you, and rose again
Receive Him into your heart and new life you shall gain
It is my prayer this Christimas day
That you will not turn the Saviour away
