Analysis of What Birthday Gift for Jesus?
I cannot sing enough to show
How much your love has meant
Through all the years I've come to know
That love You freely sent!
I cannot praise You deep enough
To show the way I feel
Through good days and the ones quite rough.
At times they seem surreal.
And I cannot do anything
To celebrate that night,
Except to give you everything
Through love with all my might!
