The Wrappings

Whatever is gift placed under the tree.
It is the wrapping I desire for you to see.

The fine meal that is prepared;
What is of most value, you may not even be aware.

The traditions and memories that visit from the past,
Is a remnant of this gift that lasts.

The tears that fill the eyes on this day
Is another precious reminder of the gift portrayed

The favorite songs that encourage Christmas cheer;
Pour from the heart that has the gift near.

This gift is passed mother to daughter and father to son,
This gift from the cross to man comes.

Because of love the Father gave His Son to man;
Because of love Jesus obeyed and did as the Father planned.
Because of love the Holy Spirit speaks.
And will show God is Love to all who seek.
Because of love the redeemed man offers themselves;
As a servant to help get God’s message of love out.
This message is in a word of hope and peace.
They that are nourished by love causes great increase.
At this season allow your eyes to see and behold,
All the little gifts lavished on thee wrapped in love’s clothes.
