THE GIFT
One day God was sitting on His throne,
looking upon the earth from Heaven Above.
He said, "Something is missing, but I know what it is,
it needs a bundle of joy, hope, and love."
So He called out to His beloved Son,
"Jesus, come! Your Father has need of you!"
From the far side of Heaven Jesus came running,
for of His Father plans He already knew.
His Father said, "Son, the time has come,
go to my people and do not return until your job is through."
Tears rolled down the cheeks of the Father,
as He said, "Go! I must wait here for you."
A gift was given that day from Heaven to earth,
the love of a Father, the life of a Son.
Upon the cross He was crucified,
but the Father's love remained when all was done.
No greater gift can we give or share,
than the gift of His love and story.
God loves you and so do I,
and I pray you will be touched by His glory.
