Our Greatest Treasure
Can’t Be Found Under a Tree
Matthew 1:18–21 NIV
This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. [19] Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. [20] But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. [21] She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
The greatest
Treasure
Can’t be
Found
Neatly
Wrapped
Under
A tree.
Our greatest
Gift
Has one desire
To reside
In you and
Me.
Our greatest
Gift didn’t come
Into this world
For a life
Of ease
He’d take
On a weight
Unimaginable
Carrying it
For you
And me.
Our greatest gift
Can’t be bought or
Sold
He paid the
Cost,
Bore the stripes
But on that long
Ago day
He was an
Infant babe
Who carried the
Promise of eternity
In that tiny body.
