Jesus is the Gift

Jesus is the gift that perfectly fits every heart,
and it is with His love that all celebration starts.
We rejoice in Him as we remember His birth
and thank God for sending His only Son to earth.
His life led from a manger to a cross on a hill,
where He faithfully followed His Father's perfect will.
He freely laid down everything so that we would live,
and there is no greater treasure anyone could give.
Like a scarlet ribbon His love wrapped around the cross,
and He offered it to us all at the greatest cost.
So when we give from the heart we remember what He's done
and honor the perfect gift--God's one and only Son.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above.  James 1:17
