The Precious Gift
 
'Twas the night before Christmas
The decorating was through
Gifts were wrapped
Nothing else left to do

Christmas decorations Pictures, Images and Photos

As I stood back and gazed
At the work I had done
My thoughts turned to the birth
Of God's only son

Jesus Birth Pictures, Images and Photos

The true reason for Christmas
I pondered in my heart
The most precious gift
Came from God at the start

Jesus in Manger Pictures, Images and Photos
A tiny babe
In a manger did lay
The supreme sacrifice
To take our sins away

Jesus is King Pictures, Images and Photos

Such humble beginnings
But really a king of all
Jesus our Savior
On his name we can call

'Twas the night before Christmas
With Thanksgiving and praise
I thanked my God
For the precious gift he gave
