About this song

My latest Christmas Carol

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For God so loved this broken world,
He gave beyond all measure—
Not gold, not words, not angels sent,
But heaven's greatest treasure.
What price could measure such a gift?
What love would pay so dear?
Only a Father's only Son,
Laid down to draw us near.

[Chorus]
This is the price of the gift,
Behold what true love costs—
Not wrapped in gold or tinsel bright,
But born to bear a cross.
O world, do you understand
What heaven gave away?
The price of love was everything—
And Love was born today.

[Verse 2]
A sweater knit with patient hands,
A letter penned with care,
A gift is measured not in gold
But by the giver's share.
So what of Him who gave His all,
Who held back not His son?
The greatest gift was not the straw—
It was the Holy One.

[Chorus]
This is the price of the gift,
Behold what true love costs—
Not wrapped in gold or tinsel bright,
But born to bear a cross.
O world, do you understand
What heaven gave away?
The price of love was everything—
And Love was born today.

[Verse 3]
We trade our lists and wrap our boxes,
Miss the gift within—
That God Himself came down to us
To ransom us from sin.
No cheap exchange, no easy grace,
This love was bought with blood.
The manger leads to Calvary—
The price of being loved.

[Chorus]
This is the price of the gift,
Behold what true love costs—
Not wrapped in gold or tinsel bright,
But born to bear a cross.
O world, do you understand
What heaven gave away?
The price of love was everything—
And Love was born today.

[Verse 4]
So when you give this Christmas day,
Give something of yourself—
A piece of time, a piece of heart,
Not just something off the shelf.
For this is how the Father loved,
He gave His very best.
The price of the gift is sacrifice—
And we are forever blessed.

[Chorus]
This is the price of the gift,
Behold what true love costs—
Not wrapped in gold or tinsel bright,
But born to bear a cross.
O world, do you understand
What heaven gave away?
The price of love was everything—
And Love was born today.

[Outro]
And Love was born today.
