A Christmas Present
Give all the gift of time this year
To lonely old and young.
Please help them smile and dry a tear
With carols you have sung.
Invest concern for their welfare.
Give help to satisfy
Their need to know that someone cares
If they should live or die!
Feed hungry souls who need to find
The banquet food of God
And living water of the mind
For those whose faith will plod.
Take time to be a friend so they
Will not be so alone.
Provide the hope they need each day,
Because of love you've shown!
