Poem: God’s Greatest Gift

God’s Greatest Gift

Was wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger

He was born in the city of Bethlehem and revealed himself

unto those society deemed

to be outcast and strangers

God’s greatest gift lived a wonderful life without sin and flaw

He lived for his people righteousness by perfectly fulfilling and obeying the law

God’s greatest gift

Was his only begotten son that became sin and a curse and was crucified upon a tree

God’s greatest gift Carried my sin, guilt, shame and was wounded

for my transgressions and iniquities

God’s greatest gift poured out his precious blood

For ungodly sinners such as you and me

and without the covering

of the redeemer cleansing blood we would forever abide in sin without hope of being free

God’s greatest gift died on the cross, but the crucifixion

Was not the end of his story

God's greatest gift

Triumphantly Overcame sin, Satan and death and to him belongs

all the power, honor and glory

God’s greatest gift

Is the gift that continues to gives

God Greatest gift is Jesus and forever our resurrected Lord and King Lives.
