The Gift

Mary had a little Lamb,
Sent from Heaven above.
He was the spotless Son of God,
The gift of the Father's Great Love.

They called Him Jesus.
He came to save us from our Sin,
And to give Eternal Life,
To all who repent, and trust in Him.

He went about doing good,
He healed the sick, and taught the Word.
The religious leaders hated Him,
- Without a cause.

He suffered, bled, and died alone,
On Calvary, our sins to atone.
He paid a tremendous price,
willingly giving His life, a sacrifice!

He arose from the grave, triumphantly!
He conquered Satan, Death, Sin, and Hell, Victoriously!
He's coming back as Lord, and King to reign eternally!
Let us worship, praise, and adore Him, Joyfully!
