about

Written out of love for the popular phrase, "reason for the season" and hits home the "why" we celebrate Christmas. This song is thought-provoking, if not a duress call, to beg the question, "have you received the Greatest Gift of All"...the eternal gift of Jesus Christ. Born of the virgin Mary, this baby boy, lying in a manger, was God-incarnate, who was sent to Earth for one purpose; to save humanity from their sins (Luke 2:8-12; Matthew 1:21-23). The song tells a story of a little boy of a large family who didn't have much...until he realized what he could have in Jesus, if he just believe (John 3:16).

lyrics

It was Christmas with the Kids
Mom and Dad had ten in all
The youngest face would frown a little
as Summer turned to fall

Always the last in line
No toys to call his own
All he knew was hand me downs
As Christmas came around

But Daddy told a story
'bout a baby in a stall
It was then they heard the story
'bout the greatest gift, the greatest gift of all

CHORUS:
Born for you and me
for all the world to see
God’s One and Only baby boy
To save humanity
This present has a presence
and He listens when we call
Jesus is the greatest gift of all

Momma tucked them in
the tallest to the small
all the lights way down low
‘cept the tree down the hall
Sugar plums danced around
as their eyelids began to fall
all the frowns turned upside down
dreamin’ of the greatest gift of all

CHORUS

20 years down the road
the youngest now a dad
His lovely bride hangs the lights
His kids a little sad
He said, “Grandpa smiles in Heaven now”
“It’s his favorite time of all.”
“When he used to tell the story…”
“Dad, can you tell the story?”
“Yes I’d love to tell the story
'bout the greatest gift
the greatest gift of all.”

CHORUS

ENDING
God’s only Son, the greatest gift of all
Have you received the greatest gift of all?
