The Greatest Gift
by Linda Miller

What if this was your last Christmas on Earth?
What would you give? What would it be worth?
Would you search every store for treasures galore?
Would you spend every dime for some glitter and shine?
Or would you look in yourself for new kinds of wealth?
Would you make amends with those “no longer friends”?
How about seeking the lost, no matter the cost?

Let go of your pain, for another man’s gain
Forget about gold and look to the soul
Give Jesus your heart and make a new start
Release all of your fears and know that He hears
Share His love and Grace with each lonely face
No Gift could be greater than what God has already given
Give the Gift of Salvation, the Greatest Gift under Heaven
