A Gift Of Life

Forgive me, oh Lord, for being so dim.

I’ve embraced this small gift, put my arms around Him.

I was holding so tight, it was all I could do;

I forgot that my arms belong first around You

Now Jesus has taught to let everything go:

All the thing that you hold, all the people you know.

If you’ll stop asking questions and simply obey,

You’ll possess them in a much more beautiful way.

So sing for the giver whose name is a prayer,

And sing to the baby He’s given so fair,

And sing to yourself, be you husband or wife,

And remember a child is a gift of life.

So sing for the giver whose name is a prayer,

And sing to the baby He’s given so fair,

And sing to yourself, be you husband or wife,

And remember a child is a gift of life.

And remember a child is a gift of life.
