We are Treasure for the Christ-Child



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

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

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