“The Fourth Christmas Gift”
" Lyrics By Gerald Logan "
(Verse 1)
Three winters passed with candles dim,
Empty cradles, silent hymns.
We prayed through tears, we held on tight,
But sorrow lingered every night.
Three tiny hopes we had to mourn,
Dreams of a child that were never born.
(Pre-Chorus)
The manger scenes would break our hearts,
We wondered if we’d ever start.
(Chorus)
But on this Christmas, heaven smiled,
In trembling arms we hold our child.
After years of loss and endless prayers,
A fragile breath now fills the air.
Three times we wept, but hope still lived,
And love gave us the fourth Christmas gift.
(Verse 2)
Stockings hung with names unsaid,
We whispered blessings by the bed.
Though the nights grew long, the snow fell deep,
God heard the cries we couldn’t keep.
And now beneath the twinkling tree,
A miracle sleeps peacefully.
(Pre-Chorus)
All the pain was not in vain,
Joy was born through years of rain.
(Chorus)
For on this Christmas, heaven smiled,
In trembling arms we hold our child.
After years of loss and endless prayers,
A fragile breath now fills the air.
Three times we wept, but hope still lived,
And love gave us the fourth Christmas gift.
(Bridge)
Silent nights now sing of grace,
We see redemption in her face.
Every tear that ever fell,
Was writing out Emmanuel.
(Chorus)
On this Christmas, heaven smiled,
In trembling arms we hold our child.
The angels knew, the stars foretold,
That broken hearts could still be whole.
Three times we wept, but hope still lived,
And love gave us the fourth Christmas gift.
(Outro)
Three little souls we’ll meet someday,
But tonight our miracle came to stay.
Wrapped in light, the heavens lift—
Our child, our love,
Our Christmas gift.
