Open your gift

It is almost Christmas time again: it happens each and every year
Everybody gets so excited: over indulged: delighted but
Some people seem to be so totally unaware of its importance
We: each and everyone of us: have been given the most wonderful gift
Why do we just leave it sitting there: deserted, unopened?
What is the matter that we sit and wait: procrastinate!
Is there a better gift we have in place: from some other place?
Well: please do not hesitate: please open it up with haste
The greatest gift of all awaits: it's at your garden gate
It is on your dinner table: yes it is there already: begging to be seen
It's awaiting your attention: let me just mention: now 
As Christmas time draws near: let me make it clear
The greatest gift has already been given!
Yes! Jesus has already paid our price: lets be nice
Wouldn't a "Thank you Lord!" be good form?
We say it every day: yes we do to who and who but
Have you actually bowed your head and thanked Him?
He who gave His only begotten son for us
He who gave up His life in Heaven to die for us
He who loves us all: desperately: unconditionally!
Isn't it time we all laid down our woes to Him
Put our faith and trust in Him: repaid Him just a little bit
For everything He has already delivered: be thankful!
The gift of eternal life: of salvation: of happiness is there
Waiting for any who wish to claim it: don't blame it on anyone else
Just get down on your knees: yes please: and thank Him!
