The Gift: A Song of Christmas, by Somebody Else

Several of my AUBG students and I are working on a couple of videos set to songs I wrote many, many years ago. In order to get this one out before Christmas, I have set it to a slide show of photos I took in both Bulgaria and Germany. I've always loved Christmas music; this is my contribution to the genre. The lyrics follow:

The Gift: A Song of Christmas (and Peace)
By Alan Forrest Hickman

My poor heart sings for you
Has gifts it brings for you
These are the blessings I offer today

If your heart weeps for me
Has gifts it keeps for me
May you forever know love on this day
Christmas Day

In a world marred by sin
Our voices lift again
Love is the song that we sing on this day

Heartache may be the end
Till we know love again
Love is the answer I bring on this day
Christmas Day

Peace in our time
Time out of mind
Peace is the gift that keeps giving
Love that is blind
Love of mankind
Love is the proof we are living

My poor heart sings for you, etc.
