The Gift I'll Give

If you're a mom or you know a mom, you probably realize that moms universally feel two things:

That they're not doing enough
That they just want their kids to be good

The Gift I Give is an endearing song where a child answers that second universal feeling.

Lyrics

I planned to bring the perfect thing

to give you on a day like today.

So here I am,

with empty hands,

and something I've been waiting to say.

Oh it's not wrapped with ribbons or bows,

But this is my gift and here it goes

I will reach out my hand to someone in need,

be courageous and kind,

like Jesus would be.

I will build up my friends with the words that I say,

be a light in my home every day.

I will live like you want me to live.

This is the gift I'll give.

The good I seek begins with me,

and I believe there's always a way

to comfort those who feel alone,

especially on a day like today.

If every soul found someone to lift,

the world would change,

oh what a gift!

I will reach out my hand to someone in need,

be courageous and kind,

like Jesus would be.

I will build up my friends with the words that I say,

be a light in my home every day.

I will live like you want me to live.

This is the gift I'll give.

I have always felt that the written word is much more powerful when combined with beautiful music. You have such a gift for this, and I appreciate these songs that feel like blessings I can carry with me, ponder as I fall asleep and hear in my heart when I wake up.

Your songs are mine and my kids' favorites! We play them in the car & on the piano and get so excited when a new one comes out. My 3-year-old son with Autism belts out entire verses (with actions) of the song "I will shine" and it's about the sweetest thing I've ever seen. The song The Miracle is my 6-year-old's favorite and the song that introduced us to your music!

Thank you again for blessing us all with your talents.
