"The Gift" lyrics

Wasn't silver, wasn't gold
The greatest treasure to behold
Was a child cradled in the hay
Wasn't richest, but it was
The greatest offering of love
A father who gave his son away

From throne to lowly manger, the hope of the world
Born to us a savior, who is Christ the Lord
Open your heart, come receive the one who is
The gift only God can give

Emmanuel, God with us
Heaven's Word and flesh and blood
He came that sinners may be saved
Just one holy infants cry
Can break the silence of our night
With the dawn of redeeming grace

From throne to lowly manger, the hope of the world
Born to us a savior, who is Christ the Lord
Open your heart, come receive the one who is
The gift only God can give

Oh come, oh come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Oh come, oh come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

From throne to lowly manger, the hope of the world
Born to us a savior, who is Christ the Lord
Open your heart, come receive the one who is
The gift only God can give
The gift only God can give

Only God can give
