Treasure for the Christ-Child

Treasure for the Christ-child
ourselves, our very lives
committing ourselves to God
giving up control

Treasure for the Christ-child
our journey, our lives
giving up our hopes, our cares
giving up control

Treasure for the Christ-child
our following his way
trying to serve as he did
give up control
