The Opened Gift
The gifts have all been opened
And the wrapping paper all thrown away.
But the gift that was given at Christmas
Will live in our heart each day.
The baby, Jesus, was sent from heaven
To be an example of how we should live.
He came as a humble servant
And his life, for us, He did give.
He gave the gifts of love, joy and peace
As we travel throughout our day.
Gifts that only this baby can give
If we accept Him and what he does say.
So the Christmas Day is now over
But the Christmas message is alive today.
He came; He lived and died for us
And can now live in our heart each day.
