Ray Boltz - The Gift lyrics

The Gift Words and music by Skip Ewing For them there were no presents Around the Christmas tree No flashing lights unless you count The lamp across the street A fire in a barrel No chimney and no roof To most of them Santa Claus Was the man who made the soup In an alley was a mother Two children by her side Trying hard to keep the spark Of true Christmas alive She said we may not have some things That other people do But Christmas is for everyone And were Gods children too Oh and Jesus loves you And so do I Think about the baby And the star up in the sky I don't think Santas comin Cause he don't know where we live But who needs Christmas presents We already have the gift Well early Christmas morning While they were still asleep I packed a box of food and clothes And walked back to their street Imagine my surprise When I saw presents all around Blankets, toys and winter coats Beside them on the ground And the card I read from Santa said Inside the three of you The real heart of Christmas Is still beating strong and true Oh and Jesus loves you And so do I Think about the baby And the star up in the sky Santa Claus is comin Cause he know where real faith lives But who needs Christmas presents We already have the gift Who needs Christmas presents We already have the gift Who needs Christmas presents We already have the gift 1996 Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.
