Luke 2:12 “And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
1.
A baby in a manger
Three Wise Men, bearing gifts
Shepherds, tending flocks
Make hills look white with snowy drifts
Angels singing heralds
Of The newborn, Christ and King
‘Twas the first Christmas
Of which all men would sing
2.
But the Gift wasn’t opened
By thankful finger tips
Instead, it was ripped and torn
By cruel, mocking whips
Instead of scarlet ribbon
Nicely tied and neatly bowed
‘Twas laced with blood
That from His wounds had freely flowed
Chorus:
The Gift of life was given
With His death at Calvary
And although so freely given
It cost The Savior everything
An Old Rugged Cross
Was the first of Christmas trees
Where the Royal Gift was given
Eternal life,
For you and me
Eternal life – Will you believe?
