YAHUSHUA, YOU ARE THE GREATEST GIFT!!


Once again it is Christmas time and Yahushua we celebrate Your Birth.
We sing carols send out cards and enjoy its festivities and mirth.
We often give gifts to the poor and to those we love and hold dear.
And the gesture is often reciprocated for it is the blessed time of good cheer.
There is no other event in the Calendar Year like Christmas the soul to lift,
Because Yahushua, You came in Person, Elohim Himself, our greatest Gift.

Oh Yahushua, You are the greatest Gift that this world has ever known.
Yes, You are the greatest Gift indeed my soul as ever known.
For though very Elohim, You gave up Your throne in Glory,
Came this world and suffered and died, that beautiful story!
Which tells how You ransomed wretched sinners one and all;
Because You came as a Babe in Bethlehem, the greatest Gift of all.

Yahushua, You came to Earth and Your coming made a difference!
But Adonai, What if You thought of Your Kingly deference and reverence
And had refused to come to Planet Earth riddled with sin and shame?
What hope would there have been for mankind coveting fame?
And what would this world have been like in spite of it’s decay,
Had You not come and made the difference by showing us the way??

By Your coming Adonai Yahushua, You turned the order of things round;
And made the world a better place for all to be Heaven bound.
Your coming to this world brought liberation from Satan's hordes;
So that all may enjoy the privileges Your Freedom affords.
For You’ve given to everyone Your matchless grace without exception,
When You came to this world and paid the price for our redemption.

Adonai Yahushua wherever You’re accepted and worshipped there is a difference.
Females are not denigrated and kept down but are treated with deference.
Slaves are liberated or treated humanely and there is respect for life!
Schools and universities are established eliminating illiteracy once rife.
Hospitals and health clinics are built for the sick for which many sigh!
And there is freedom to worship You, our Adon and King, Elohim Most High.

Elohim Yahushua, What if You had not come? What would the world’s condition??
Diseases would over-run the Earth for there would be no hygiene in operation.
There would be no liberty or safety and prison houses would fill the land;
Murders, avarice and corruption would so blanket the globe none would understand.
The peace and prosperity so often taken for granted would be utterly unknown,
And life would have been destroyed so this world we would never have known.

Yahushua, I thank You that for the love of mankind You gave up Heaven's glory,
Came to Earth and made it a better place so we can tell the precious story!
You taught us how to be kind and caring to our neighbours everyone;
To show love, avoid enmity and be gracious when wronged by anyone.
You belittled and condemned no one and taught us to do likewise;
Because You made us of one blood to dwell upon the Earth, Elohim only Wise!

Oh Yahushua, You are the greatest Gift that this world has ever known.
Yes, You are the greatest Gift indeed my soul as ever known.
And Yahushua, I thank You that out of Your great love for all mankind,
You came to this world of sin and willing gave Your life for mankind;
And ransomed wretched sinners one and all our souls to win,
When as our greatest Gift You came and redeemed us from sin.
