There are gifts we highly treasure,
Things we value most of all.
These are gifts that bring us pleasure.
They're not placed on shelf or wall ...
 

Gifts like Freedom, Faith and Family,
Health and Strength, and so much more.
Friends who care and treat us grandly,
They just make our spirits soar.
 

There are gifts that aren't expected,
Precious things that come our way.
By His Spirit we're directed
To The Strait and Narrow Way.
 

Then, there's Joy and Peace, and Laughter;
Hope and Love in large amounts ~
Not to mention what's comes after.
That's the Gift that really counts.
 

For the Gift is Life Eternal,
Found in Jesus Christ The Lord.
When we drop what's just external,
There is Grace and great reward.
 

Gifts from God are such a blessing,
Showered down from Him on high.
Nothing's left to chance or guessing.
All our needs He does supply.
 

So, be ready and be waiting
For The Trumpet and The Call,
As the saints start celebrating
With God's Greatest Gift Of All !!!
