The Greatest Gift Of All (Live) - Gaither

Dawn is slowly breaking Our friends have all gone home You and I are waiting For Santa Claus to come There's a present by the tree Stockings on the wall Knowing you're in love with me Is the greatest gift of all The fire is slowly fading Chill is in the air All the gifts are waiting For children everywhere Through the window, I can see Snow begin to fall Knowing you're in love with me Is the greatest gift of all Just before I go to sleep I hear a church bell ring Merry Christmas, everyone Is the song it sings So I say a silent prayer For creatures great and small Peace on earth, goodwill to man Is the greatest gift of all Peace on earth, goodwill to man Is the greatest gift of all

Praise the mountain and the rain All the gifts that still remain But the greatest gift of all And the law above all laws Is to love your friends and lovers To lay down your life for your brothers As you abide in peace So will your delight increase As the mystery of the cross Is a love joy lost the toss? And the fountain in the rain Where my sorrow still remains So I run to my friends and lovers I lay down my life for my brothers As I abide in peace So will my delight increase

Everything I do, yes I do for my love Every place I go, she is on my mind I would give the world, my soul, to discover Send me just a sign, angel on my mind And if I should dream, I could dream of no other Out here in the deep, hear my body cryin' Heaven knows the fire that I hide and recover Glorify this fool, angel on my mind, on my mind, oh This is the greatest gift that I can bring to you I, I feel the world that moves inside This is the moment I have dreamt of all my life Reach out and touch and you will find Why am I crazy? Who is foolin' with the order? I am strong, I will not fade, I will survive, oh Look in my eyes, you'll see my heart, I will recover Send me just a sign, angel on my mind, on my mind This is the greatest gift that I can bring to you I, I feel the world that moves inside This is the moment I have dreamt of all my life Reach out and touch, oh, and you will find This is the greatest gift, ooh This is the greatest gift, oh Hey yeah, hey yeah Oh, This is the greatest gift that I can bring to you I, I feel the world that moves inside Oh, this is the moment I have dreamt of all my life Reach out and touch, and you, you, you This is the greatest gift that I can bring to you And I, I feel the world that moves inside me Ah, this is the moment I have dreamt of all my life This is the greatest gift that I can bring to you Oh, this is all my life, oh This is the greatest gift, this is the greatest gift, oh Reach out, reach out, oh reach out

I believe that children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be Everybody's searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs A lonely place to be And so I learned to depend on me I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I lived as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all I believe that children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I lived as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all And if by chance, that special place That you've been dreaming of Leads you to a lonely place Find your strength in love

Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out, to bring us in Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out, to bring us in All those years longing for a land We were starved, much too weak to stand And they took their toil, tyrants of the soul With no place we could call our own With no song, Lord, you heard our groan And you made a way where there was no way Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out to bring us in Out of chains and the bonds of man Out of death and the curse of sin Through the desert sand to the promise land Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind to a better place You brought us out Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind to a better place You brought us out to bring us in
