The Best Christmas Gift - Merry Christmas everyone!
Posted: Fri Dec 13, 2013 6:20 pm
Here's wishing you all the BEST Christmas gift, this December and for anytime of the year!
A few years ago I collaborated on a song of the same title, and here you can hear the results on this YouTube video:

The video includes the notation so you can see the actual score (notes) roll by along with the guitar chords and lyrics,
but I'll also post the lyrics below in case you want to refer to them again.
Merry Christmans, blessings and feel free to share with friends and family as the Lord leads!

The Best Christmas Gift
Michael Borges - Music & Lyrics / Patricia Baker - Lyrics, BMI © 2004
Verse 1:
The best Christmas gift doesn't come in a package
Wrapped in red ribbons nor tied with a bow... joy to the world!
It's more beautiful than you'll find in a stocking
It's something that God wants the whole world to know... joy the world!
Pre Chorus:
The snow covered fir trees look oh so majestic
On His thousand hillsides they sparkle like gold
Though santas and candy canes hang from their branches
They can't lift my soul to heaven nor make me whole.
Chorus 1:
I don't need fancy wraps nor a name tag
To share the best gift that God's given me
The life that He gives becomes precious and sweeter
I can't hide His love beneath my Christmas tree
Bridge:
Salvation is ours when we receive
The unmeasurable gift of His love
God's only son for us sacrificed
Rose from the dead back to life!
Lift:
In power and glory that we might believe
In power and glory that we might receive
Eternal life eternal love
In heaven with Him above!
Chorus 2:
I put Christ, I put Christ back in Christmas
Join me now singing praises to His name!
There's no better time no sweeter thought
Then trusting in Him who came
Final Chorus:
King of Kings Lord of Lords I put Christ back in Christmas
Wonderful Counselor Mighty God
The life that He gives becomes precious and sweeter
I can't hide His love I can't hide His joy
The best Christmas gift is the joy of knowing Christ!
Outro:
Joy to the world, Joy to the world, let earth receive her King!
