What gifts
would I give to Jesus?
What gifts
should we give to Jesus?
What would he
ask of us?
Our finest of
earthly things,
Treasures we
offered many kings.
Are these the
gifts I would bring?
No, “He”
would reject these offerings.
What gift
should we give to Jesus?
What would he
ask of us?
Perhaps it is
not something to touch.
May not even
seem like much.
We may need a
better perspective.
For his life
did freely he give.
Maybe we
should ask of you Jesus?
What gifts
would you ask of us?
“A gift of your
sins and sorrows…
In exchange
for better tomorrows.”
“Let go of
your pains and strife…
For I offer the
path to eternal life.”
Is this all
you ask of us Jesus?
What more
would you ask of us?
“Follow me
with a broken spirit…
Serve with a
heart contrite.”
“In meekness
and humility please strive…
For then you,
will I, truly forgive.”
Why did you
gift us Jesus?
Why did you
do this for us?
“Scales of
Justice and Mercy are such a heavy weight.
A Savior was required,
to overcome pre-determined fate.”
“To keep your
free will as a choice.
The Father
heard in Heaven my voice.”
Why be born
of man when you are a Son of God?
Why did you
sweat precious drops of your blood?
“I needed to
know how to succor my brethren…
For this came
I to Earth, trailing Heaven.”
“My prayer
was heard in the Garden of Gethsemane
I paid the
price of all sins, to free you from evil Tyranny.”
Why did you
have to suffer and hang upon the cross?
Why as an
innocent, did you allow your life be lost?
“An earthly
life brings with it a mortal death…
My
resurrection helped all to regain Heaven’s breath.”
“Two prices
were paid to meet the plans demands,
Revealed by
the marks in my hands.”
How can I do
anything less?
Than to give
Christ my very best?
I would give
to you a broken heart
That we would
never be apart.
I would give
to you my sorrow and sins.
By allowing
my heart to let you in.
What gifts
would we give to Jesus?
What gifts
would he ask of us?
There is
nothing that we should refuse “Him.”
We must learn
not to trust our own limbs.
We must rely on
his tender mercy.
He gave us a
chance to be worthy.
What gift
would I give to Jesus?
What does he
ask of us?
I would give
Him my love and trust
His judgement
will only be just
I must become
as a child
Be patient,
meek and mild.
The gifts that
were given by Jesus
He willing
suffered for us
Broken is
spiritual death and these mortal chains.
Our King over
Heaven and Earth will reign
He broke the
bread unleavened
A remembrance
to guide us to Heaven.
The gifts
that were given by Jesus
He willingly
offered to us
His living
waters will always slacken our thirst
Still
performing miracles, among the ungodly accursed
The blind
will see, the lame will walk, the deaf will hear
Christs
‘gifts for us bring tidings of good cheer
Oh what gifts
would I give Jesus?
Oh what gifts
has he offered to us?
