A Gift from Above

While asking the Lord what I should write for this Sunday, He reminded me of a Chritmas song I wrote over 15 years ago. Though you won’t be able to hear the tune over the internet, may the words reach down deep into your soul!
A Gift From Above
Little eyes full of compassion
Little hands that would grow strong
Little heart full of love and tenderness
that would right all of man’s wrong.
Who would have guessed such a little baby
could be a great gift from above.
How generous was the giver?
How great was His love?
What was it like to leave your mighty throne?
To come down to a desolate land and walk alone?
What were you thinking, how great was your love?
To leave your Heavenly home above?
Eyes full of forgiveness.
Hands stretched upon the cross.
A heart carrying all our sin
and paying the final cost.
Who would have guessed that the Lord
would give his life for me.
And what greater gift was there to give
then his blood upon that tree.
What was it like to leave your mighty throne?
To come down to a desolate land and walk alone?
What were you thinking, how great was your love?
I’m glad you left your home above!
