The Gift

When you accept Jesus
As a personal savior
You open a package
A really large gift
It is not hard to open
No ribbons or tape
It unfolds before you
It begins to create
The wonders and magic
A Genesis within
Your heart starts to soften
Something magical begins
The world seems different
It isn’t the same
The people aren’t foreign
They each have a name
He’s standing there with you
And urging you on
Not a tap on the shoulder
In your heart there’s a song
He whispers and nudges
He’s gentle that way
Can you do this for me
He gently will say
Will you gather things for them
Keep them warm and dry
Will you go there tomorrow
So they will not cry
Don’t worry about how
I’ll show you the way
I’ll give you the tools
We’ll conquer the day
Feed my sheep
And keep them warm
Make sure they are safe
Help me ease their storm
For I have given you plenty
And want you to see
That others are empty
And in need of Me
Give them the same gift
That I gave to you
I’ll open it for them
They will know me too
Keep listening daily
And watching by night
I am with you always
We have won the fight
Amen
