"My Christmas Gift" Revised

"My Christmas Gift" Revised

What gift can I give You
Emmanuel?
That would compare with
my freedom from hell?

When I was confused You
set my mind at ease.
How do I show my gratitude
for this incomprehensible peace?

You've guarded and directed me
throughout each year.
Every time I've had a problem
You lent me an ear.

My piggy bank is broken so
there's not much for a gift
even if I had an inkling what
to honor You with

You have no needs for watches,
ties,or gold cuff links.
You have no need for cologne or
a Christmas card that sings

My gift it must be greater than
all that Wal-Mart holds.
Nothing cheap or tacky, or
too easy to bestow.

There must be something worthy...
Something You would like?
I've searched through all I have
But nothing seems quite right.

Perhaps above all other gifts
none could be better
than to offer my heart to You
now and forever

So I offer my love on Your
star-lit birthday.
Accept it dear Jesus
I humbly pray.
