The Greatest Gift Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

When I think of the many gifts given,
To each other in acts of love,
There's none so priceless, nor one as special,
As the Gift sent down from above.

Sent to this old Earth so vile and sinful,
So wretched and undeserving.
Yet sent just the same, with such affection,
From the Father unreserving.

A precious Gift so carefully chosen
To meet the sinner's greatest need,
Carefully wrapped in love, in grace, in truth;
Yet, how was this great gift received?

With welcome arms or hearts overflowing,
With joy or appreciation?
No! He was rejected, nailed to a cross,
With shame and humiliation!

What greater act of love could God offer
To man, than that which has been done?
For God surely loved you and me so much
He gave to us his only Son.

Please receive this gift of eternal life
For to you it has been given,
Then become a part of God's family
To live forever in heaven.
