Story Behind The Song
During the Christmas season in 2005 I was wrapping gifts and thinking that these gifts were nothing compared to the gift of salvation. Another song was born...

Lyrics
The Greatest Gift
Verse 1
One Christmas someone asked me
What my favorite gift would be
And the answer to the question
Was an easy one for me
It?s special, very special
As I?m sure you?ll see
And even better yet
This gift is free
Chorus
It?s not a gift from Toyland
Or a present you can see
It?s not a wish made sitting on someone?s knee
It can?t be wrapped in paper
Or be placed beneath the tree
The greatest gift of all ? God?s love for me
Verse 2
Each Christmas I?ll remember
All the things God?s done for me
All the blessings, all the goodness
How He sent his Son to be
My Savior, My Helper
What an awesome love
To give the greatest gift from up above
