The Christmas Gift
It should have been a palace Where the Blessed Baby lay, In a cradle's warmth and comfort- Not a manger filled with hay,
For He was Himself Creator Of the heavens and the earth, But He'd left His Throne of Glory For a lowly, earthly birth.
There was nothing made He had not made But most incomprehensively, He had laid aside His Royal Crown To save lost humanity!
He knew rejection from the world When His life had just begun, For no comfort, warmth, or shelter Were offered God's Own Son.
And in His earthly ministry He received few men's esteem Although He'd come to heal and help and a fallen world redeem.
The Scriptures tell us He was rich, But became, for our sakes, poor- That we, through grace, might be rich- And could enter Heaven's Door.
Yes, it should have been a palace Where the Blessed Baby lay But salvation's gift was humbly brought To a manger filled with hay.

It should have been a palace
Where the Blessed Baby lay,
In a cradle's warmth and comfort-
Not a manger filled with hay,
For He was Himself Creator
Of the heavens and the earth,
But He'd left His Throne of Glory
For a lowly, earthly birth.
There was nothing made He had not made
But most incomprehensively,
He had laid aside His Royal Crown
To save lost humanity!
