Ray Boltz - The Gift Lyrics
The GiftWords and music by Skip EwingFor them there were no presentsAround the Christmas treeNo flashing lights unless you countThe lamp across the streetA fire in a barrelNo chimney and no roofTo most of them Santa ClausWas the man who made the soupIn an alley was a motherTwo children by her sideTrying hard to keep the sparkOf true Christmas aliveShe said we may not have some thingsThat other people doBut Christmas is for everyoneAnd were Gods children tooOh and Jesus loves youAnd so do IThink about the babyAnd the star up in the skyI dont think Santas cominCause he dont know where we liveBut who needs Christmas presentsWe already have the giftWell early Christmas morningWhile they were still asleepI packed a box of food and clothesAnd walked back to their streetImagine my surpriseWhen I saw presents all aroundBlankets, toys and winter coatsBeside them on the groundAnd the card I read from Santa saidInside the three of youThe real heart of ChristmasIs still beating strong and trueOh and Jesus loves youAnd so do IThink about the babyAnd the star up in the skySanta Claus is cominCause he know where real faith livesBut who needs Christmas presentsWe already have the giftWho needs Christmas presentsWe already have the giftWho needs Christmas presentsWe already have the gift1996 Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.BMI.
