God’s Perfect Gift

God sent to earth a perfect gift,
From His heavenly home above:

Unique and special in every way,

A gift of His undying love.

Born of a virgin called Mary,

God chose her, His Son to bear;

Instructed to call His Name Jesus,

A gift for all people to share.

Born in a stable with animals,

Placed in a manger with straw:

Mary wrapped Him in warm clothing,

Sent as Redeemer and Savior for all.

No gift was ever so perfect,

Sinless and pure as could be:

All we have to do is receive Him,

And forever our soul will be free.

From a manger to a cross at Calvary,

Obeying His Father’s total will:

Now reigning by His Father in Heaven,

Still sinless, alive, and so real.
