Christmas Gifts
When Christ was born, God's angels gave
The Shepherds songs of praise
For God who sent His Son to save.
The first gift as sheep grazed.
The second gift was given by
The shepherds who were first
To show Christ reverence and nigh
Tell all to fill man's thirst.
The Wise Men came with Christmas gifts
As part of their worship.
To show that love for God exists
Despite a long, long trip.
Each Christmas helps remind us that
God's gift of love came wrapped
In swaddling clothes located at
The manger; God's saving act!
