God’s Christmas Gift

Simplified

Tenderly

1. Long ago, in Bethlehem,

God sent His Holy Son;

A precious Gift to save the world:

The pure, Anointed One.

Jesus Christ gave His life;

God planned it from the start.

Each day I live, each gift I give

Will show my thankful heart.

Jesus is the Christmas gift

God gives to you and me.

2. Every year, at Christmastime,

The presents ‘round the tree

Remind me to receive the Christ:

The Gift God gives to me.

Jesus Christ gave His life;

God planned it from the start.

Each day I live, each gift I give

Will show my thankful heart.

Jesus is the Christmas gift

God gives to you and me.
