I am the proud father of two adult children. I have been playing the guitar for various church bands for over 25 years. All of these songs are original and reflect a preference to Christian music with a country rhythm.

Story behind the song

Just look at all the brightly coloured packages and the beautifully trimmed tree! But do you know that the Greatest Gift you can receive this season was given as a baby, wrapped in swaddling clothes - laying in a manger!

Lyrics

If you had been the keeper of the inn at Bethlehem
That night so long ago when Joseph came to call,
Would shepherd’s stories have persuaded you to view with utter joy
That little baby as the greatest Gift of all?

	Wrapped up in swaddling clothes – not bows or pretty paper,
 	No fancy box – instead a lowly cattle stall,  
	No twinkling lights but still the wisemen saw one bright
							and shining star –
	The night the Father gave the Greatest Gift of All.


How do we view this coming season we call Christmas time?
A must-do shopping trip through out some crowded mall?
Or do we see it as a time when we can truly celebrate
The night the Father gave The Greatest Gift of All?


Lord keep our focus on the Reason for the Season
Keep us from traps where we so easily might fall
And may we ever be reminded of that time we love so dear –
When we received Your Son – The Greatest Gift of All.
