THE GREATEST GIFT
THE GREATEST GIFT
And is this gift the greatest yet to be given?
To find that God has blessed our children
With the love of Him, and know they too
May one day celebrate with us in Heaven.
Our promises to bring our children to His feet
Are made in faith when they are small.
We vow to try to lead them in the way of truth,
Yet often on our journey, faith grows weak.
But at the baptism of each new child of God,
We pray the Holy Spirit's blessing on their lives,
Rejoicing in the special gifts our Lord Himself bestowed,
And travel hopefully with them the path our Saviour trod.
