The Gift is more than a seasonal listening experience, it has become firmly established as the basis for numerous joyful Christmas events, indoors or outdoors and is widely used as a kind of 'Christmas party for Jesus'.
A resource of seasonal songs to help build bridges to those for whom the Christmas story has little relevance today.
Originally released in 1988, The Gift is now available as a double CD with Rumours of Angels
Like a candle flame
Flickering small in our darkness
Uncreated light
Shines through infant eyes
God is with us, alleluia (Men)
God is with us, alleluia (Women)
Come to save us, alleluia (Men)
Come to save us (Women)
Alleluia! (All)
Stars and angels sing
Yet the earth sleeps in shadows
Can this tiny spark
Set a world on fire?
Yet his light shall shine
From our lives, Spirit blazing
As we touch the flame
Of his holy fire
Graham Kendrick
