Lyrics:
What Do I Do With A Gift Like This? (c)2005 Jodi Roberts and Kara K. Smith
Verse 1
Sitting near the aisle in the church's second row
I hear children singing of a gift I don't know
Wrapped only in a cloth and sealed with a kiss
What Do I Do With A Gift Like This?
Verse 2
The baby is restless, I hear his soft cries
Little Mary holds him closer,I see heaven in his eyes
He holds out his hands to me,
reaching something I have missed
What Do I Do With a Gift Like This?
Bridge:
Do I run to the presence of this little king,
Abandon my unworthiness for what he offers me?
Do I kneel at his manger despite all my shame
And hold this gift in my arms as I whisper his name?
Verse 3
I know it's just a scene from a seasonal play,
But there's something deep inside I sense I've given away
The spirit of this Holy Child has filled my emptiness
So now, What Do I Do?
What Do I Do?
Repeat Bridge
