The Gift ... LazsRealm

I had the nicest Christmas list,
The longest one in town,
Till Mother looked at it and said,
"You'll have to cut it down."

I know that what she said was true
Beyond the faintest doubt,
But was amazed to hear her say,
"You've left your best Friend out."

And so I scanned my list again,
And said, "Oh, that's not true!"
Mother said, "His name's not there,
That Friend who died for you."

And then I clearly understood,
T'was Jesus that she meant;
For Him who should come first of all
I hadn't planned a cent!

I'd made a Christmas birthday list,
And left the Savior out!
But oh, it didn't take me long
To change the list about.

And though I've had to drop some names
Of folks I like a lot,
My Lord must have the most - -
Because His name is at the top!
