From the recording BLESSED CHRISTMAS
Inspired by a friend, my hope is that this track will inspire you to slow down and enjoy unwrapping gifts.
Lyrics
Everyone Bustling, filled with good cheer.
Rushing to find the perfect present this year.
Hours of wrapping with a twinkling eye
Are undone in a second — at the speed of light!
Might we embrace another disposition
To unwrap gifts — a new tradition?
Close your eyes, shake the box,
Make a guess, open it sly like a fox.
Feel around inside then take out the prize.
Make a guess before opening your eyes.
Give the gift of the unwrapping
Like the Christ child swaddled in love,
While the angels sang praises above,
So your gift was wrapped with care.
How are you unwrap it returns the favor.
Close your eyes, shake the box,
Make a guess, open it sly like a fox.
Feel around inside then take out the prize.
Make a guess before opening your eyes.
Give the gift of the unwrapping
I have learned this from a dear friend,
No need to rush through to the end.
For the gift of unwrapping will last a lifetime
Christmases, birthdays and Valentines
Close your eyes, shake the box,
Make a guess, open it sly like a fox.
Feel around inside then take out the prize.
Make a guess before opening your eyes.
Give the gift of the unwrapping
Close your eyes, shake the box,
Make a guess, open it sly like a fox.
Feel around inside then take out the prize.
Make a guess before opening your eyes.
Give the gift,
No need to be swift,
What a lift,
The sweet gift of
The unwrapping
