Holiday gift giving began a LONG time ago with the story of The Three Wise Men bringing treasures to the baby Jesus. Perhaps they left with more than they brought...
I am a songwriter dedicated to spreading the good news about the love and mercy of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Story behind the song
This song was written and fully conceived a year before it was recorded. As the 2006 Christmas season approached, I began the recording/producing process. The song was completed in time for the Christmas Eve service at Christ Chapel (Kinnelon, NJ) complete with an adorable "little kiddy" choir. I am hoping to record the children and include their voices in the demo soon after their performance.
Lyrics
"Christmas Gift"
Words and Music by Hank Stansfield
Two thousand years ago, three men came from the Orient
Bringing their gifts to show praise for one Baby born
Holy and pure, humble and poor
Could those three men have known that boy brought a gift of His own?
Christmas gift, special gift
God’s forgiveness offered freely
If I had just one wish
It would be that you might have this gift, yeah!
Now you may question me, “Is this a gift that I really need?”
I’d say, “Just look within. Can you see your sin?
God sees it, too. Still He loves you
So much He sent His Son to give His life as the one…”
Christmas gift, special gift
God’s forgiveness offered freely
If I had just one wish
It would be that you might have this
Christmas gift, special gift
God’s forgiveness offered freely
If I had just one wish
It would be that you might have this
Christmas gift, special gift
God’s forgiveness offered freely
If I had just one wish
It would be that you might have this
Gift, yeah!
