This is a testimony for "the Greatest Gift" song

 The Greatest Gift Testimony
First
of all, Merry Christmas to everyone. I assume everyone is having an
awesome time together with Friends, Family, Spiritual Family etc...
Well
I'm alright. Christmas day can be pretty pressuring especially when it
comes to buying gifts. I couldn't breathe when I was buying gifts. I
had a list with my friends of the people who had blessed us this year
and man, every time we would shop for someone, a "name" would pop up
and the list kept growing and growing and our cash kept decreasing and
decreasing. Wahahahha!!!!! Guess what, I just realized I still missed
some people out.
At the end of the day, it's the thought that
counts. If I spent, I spent to bless. Which is a good thing cause I was
and still am pretty much a receiver than a giver.
Anyway, what
did you get for Christmas? If you look back and think of the gifts
you've received all the years of your life during Christmas, what would
be the best gift?
I haven't received the best yet but the Greatest Gift I have.
I
wrote a song a few months back called "the Greatest Gift". The song
talks about Jesus being the Greatest Gift. If you ask me what was my
Greatest Gift, it would be Jesus. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I sound religious
and all but seriously He is.
Oh yea, though our production was
called "the Gift", the song was never written for the event but we used
it anyway . Kelvin added the second verse of the song and now sounds
complete.
You see I was going through a time where I felt I
was useless. Not good enough to serve in the ministry God called me in.
Surprised? Well I guess its just one of those days the enemy tries to
lure you down. You have to understand that when I was a teenager, there
was a time I asked myself that "What am I gonna do when I become an
adult in the working world (This was before I knew Christ). I was never
good enough in the things that I do or studied. What I've started, I've
never ended. There was one thing though that stayed and had seen
improvements and that's the area of music. I've noticed that through
out the boy-band era of my life, my ability to write songs, sing and
play the guitar has improved. Accepting Jesus in the next few years
changed my life and made me want to serve Him with the talents and
gifting He gave. If you noticed in some of my mails that I've written,
I mentioned "I know nothing but to serve". That is an honest statement
because the truth is I really don't know anything else but to serve Him
with what I got which is music.
That night when I went back
home from one of the worst worship session I led, I came before God
asking "am I ever good enough? Do I have anything that's good and am
good at?" I was in my bed thinking and in silence I heard God speak
that "I have Jesus and the music given to me is what He is gonna use
through me". I wrote the song that day and in a week the song " the
Greatest Gift" was written. Quiet long to finish a song but I wanted to
make sure that this song spoke strong.
You must be wondering
why I received the Greatest Gift and not yet the Best Gift. What is the
difference? You see, I remember PC(Pastor Cathryn) mentioned that the
best gift she received are those that she can't get but given to her
and so the same for me. I'm still waiting and that gift is salvation
for my family.

Greatest Gift
Verse 1
I'll sing to the one
who is worthy to receive all blessing, honor and power
I'll sing to the one
who sent His one and only son
The greatest gift, the greatest gift of all
Chorus
I'll sing about the love
about the love I didn't deserve
I'll sing about a Father God
A Father I ignored
Coz now I've learned to love because you love
You showed it on the cross for all
Your the Greatest Gift, the greatest gift of all
Verse 2
When I was weak you gave me Strength
You gave me Hope when all seems lost
Why do you love?
Why do you care for me?
You pick me up each time I fall
You never given up on me
You are my friend
The greatest friend of all
Bridge
Forever Jesus
Lord Jesus
Here I am, Forever I will worship
Lord Jesus
My Jesus
Here I am, Forever I will worship you
