Their Best – The Gift of the Wise Men
By Larry Linville
Why did they take such a trip
with a one or two year quest
to worship the new born king
and give him their very best
unless they knew he was special
as they’d noticed in the stars
and did they know that some day
his hands would bear some scars?
It took their best to follow
that bright star week after week
and they had to be weary
as they continued to seek.
Just as he traveled daily
the hills, valleys and roads
to give relief to people
bringing lightness to their loads.
The gifts they gave were costly
given with their great pleasure
these gifts were the best they had
sacrificing their treasure.
Just as his gift was priceless
giving up his very life
to bring hope to the hopeless
and comfort in time of strife.
Wise folks give their best today
that’s not just an afterthought
and the gift they give to Him
is the best that they have brought.
Is your shopping list complete
have you purchased everything?
It’s time for you to reach back
and give your best to the king.
