The Most
Precious Gift Of All
by Terese Holloway
 
Lord, how can I repay, the price You paid for me;
So many years ago, upon the Cross of Calvary?
You see, I can truly see it, in my mind so very clear;
The steps You took to give ME life, to rip the veil and draw me near!
I can hear the conversation between the Father and the Son;
Of all that You'd endure, so that MY heart, could be won.
You left Your Home in Glory, Your Kingdom and Your Throne;
To come into MY world ~ and give, Your life, to lead ME home.
Just a tiny baby, wrapped in swaddling clothes;
Laying in a manger ~ the Gift Of Life And Hope!
To grow in simple lifestyle, unlike Your Kingly Role;
You gave up heaven's treasures and the comfort of Your Throne!
And THEN, the time DID come, for You to sacrifice it all;
It was the plan for all the ages, it gave redemption for the fall!
Your Blood was shed upon that Cross, as YOU became a lamb;
And all of time stood silent, across the heaven's and the land.
It was done, YES, it was finished, and the plan fell into place;
It's where a King became a baby, and then a man who poured out GRACE!
From the grave, You rose to life, and returned to Heaven's Throne;
And You did it ALL for ME ~ You made me, Lord, Your Own.
The gift You gave was priceless,  it has made me who I am;
A Child Redeemed By Grace ~ Forever Grateful, To The Lamb!
And even now, I wait for You, and watch for You to come;
As YOUR plan, comes to fruition, and the FINAL victory's won!
