Mary gazes down on sweetness in a manger,
Bright eyes, soft skin, pure delight,
A gift from heaven. 

John sees the Lamb at the Jordan,
Without spot, without blemish, without sin,
A gift from heaven. 

Nicodemus questions the Rabbi in darkness,
New answers, fresh hope, glad heart,
A gift from heaven.

Zacchaeus climbs the sycamore tree,
Delighted, repentant, forgiven,
A gift from heaven.

The Savior dies on a Roman cross,
Bloodied, rejected, scorned,
A gift from heaven. 

A sinner hears a messa...
