Most everyone is rushing about, searching here and there -- counting again to see if they have left out anyone on their seemingly endless Christmas list! But have we given much thought to the real reason we are celebrating? Have we taken any time to contemplate the miracle of Christmas -- the Birthday of the King?
What gift are we going to give to the One whose name is called "Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." The One "that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it; and spirit to them that walk therein."?
There is only one gift we can give to Jesus, and I trust that you will open your heart in humble submission as you read and contemplate the message of this sweet song.
"Me! My gift is me! All I am and all I'll ever be. I'm not ashamed for the world to see that it's me, my gift is me!
What I have to give to You cannot be bought or sold;
It can't be wrapped up in a box or tied with strings of gold.
It isn't perfect, and You'll see -- it isn't even new,
But Jesus -- it's the only treasure I can give to You!
Me! My gift is me! All I am and all I'll ever be. I'm not ashamed for the world to see that it's me, my gift is me!
Jesus, you're the greatest gift the world will ever know,
Coming down from heaven just to live your love below;
With all that You have done for me, the least that I can do,
Is give all that I know of me to all I know of You!
Of all the gifts men could give --
It's nice to know that I can give His favorite gift --
The one that thrills Him so -- Me! My gift is me! All I am and all I'll ever be.
I'm not ashamed for the world to see that it's me, my gift is me!!
"Not just a part--or half of my heart--I will give ALL to Thee"!
