“God’s Christmas Gift,” Friend, Dec. 2013, 21 I Can Play It! God’s Christmas Gift (Simplified) Words by Daunell J. Clarke Music by Sharalen J. Benson Tenderly 72 1. Long ago, in Bethlehem, God sent His Holy Son; A precious Gift to save the world: The pure, Anointed One. 2. Every year, at Christmastime, The presents ‘round the tree Remind me to receive the Christ: The Gift God gives to me. Jesus Christ gave His life; God planned it from the start. Each day I live, each gift I give Will show my thankful heart. Jesus is the Christmas gift God gives to you and me. Copyright © 2008 by Daunell J. Clarke and Sharalen J. Benson.
