I see them buying Christmas gifts everywhere I go They’ll wrap them all real nicely and tie them with a bow Underneath the Christmas tree they’ll make the children smile What a chance to share the love of Jesus with a little child He was born in a manger so many years ago Shepherds called by angels came to Him, bowing low Three kings came there to greet Him by following a star They brought gifts of great significance from afar One brought gold that shone like the noonday sun This gift was meant to show He was a king, a chosen one The riches He possessed were greater than that gold His victory on the cross is there for all to behold The second brought some myrrh, a gift of somber tone The anointing of the dead was how this gift was known It signified that He would die to take our sins away The fragrance of His sacrifice is still alive today The third gift was a vial of frankincense, oh so sweet It was used in the anointing oil of all the priests It signified that Jesus was a priest above them all And that our life would do well to answer to His call So this year when those gifts are underneath the tree See it as a moment of golden opportunity To tell the world of Jesus and how He is enough He came, He lived, He died to show us His great love
