(Men) The Father gave the Son
(Women) The Son gave the Spirit
(Men) The Spirit gave us life
(All) So we can give the gift of love

[Chorus]
And the gift goes on (the Father gave the Son)
And the gift goes on (the Son gave the Spirit)
And the gift goes on (the Spirit gave us life)
And the gift goes on and on and on
( so we can give the gift of love)

Men:
Don’t you love to get a present
Wrapped up in a Christmas bow
God gave each of us a present
On that night so long ago

Women:
It’s a gift that keeps on giving
If our spirit can receive
It’s the secret joy of living
If our hearts can just believe

[chorus]
(Women echo)
And the gift goes on (the Father gave the Son)
And the gift goes on (the Son gave the Spirit)
And the gift goes on (the Spirit gave us life)
And the gift goes on and on and on
( so we can give the gift of love)

Men:
When your life is full of Christmas
Then your heart is full of love
You can give away the present
That begin with God above

Women:
just like ripples in the water
The circles of our love extend
What was started with the Father
Is a gift that has no end. . .

[chorus]
(Women echo)
And the gift goes on (the Father gave the Son)
And the gift goes on (the Son gave the Spirit)
And the gift goes on (the Spirit gave us life)
And the gift goes on and on and on
( so we can give the gift of love)

[chorus]
(Men echo)
And the gift goes on (the Father gave the Son)
And the gift goes on (the Son gave the Spirit)
And the gift goes on (the Spirit gave us life)
And the gift goes on and on and on
( so we can give the gift of love)

[chorus]
(Women echo)
And the gift goes on (the Father gave the Son)
And the gift goes on (the Son gave the Spirit)
And the gift goes on (the Spirit gave us life)
And the gift goes on and on and on
( so we can give the gift of love)
