The Best Gift (We Can Never Buy)
John 1:14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son,who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
-Carrie Underwood
We cannot buy the things that only God grants, through His loveThe pelf and pleasure of this world can never satisfyNo bag or box or bank account is ever big enoughTo hold or purchase happiness, no matter how we try
We cannot buy His death and resurrection purchased hope for everyone
We cannot buy pure joy or peace only God grants, through grace nothing can take His place
How futile is the search for happiness then, without He through salvationso weBy faith, may see His glory too, the glory of God's son
The things that truly satisfy, cannot be bought or soldNo matter how we try we cannot purchase happinessOnly God grants The Gift that transcends this world's transient holdSilver and gold can never buy His precious promises
The best gift we can never buy and only God can granton Him; the Saviour of the soulThough we may gain the whole world, without God's best gift we can'tFind hope, truth, peace or joy; these come through faith that makes us whole

Ps.146:5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
