Better Gifts – v4

Though Christ is the greatest gift of all
the gifts of God are better than our own
in ways both big and small

God offers us gifts,
the desires of our hearts;
giving us what we need,
not what we say we want

Grace, love, are given in creation
in the little things day to day
in the steps of our walk
in the way of the cross

Beauty, hope, eternal life,
the Spirit with us on the way;
Guiding us, granting us peace,
each day, a celebration
