Foreword
Christmas is the most extraordinary act of giving the world will ever know.
Yet we often seem lost in our ability to respond – how can we thank God
for the gift of His Son? We must remember there is only one thing our
heavenly Father desires in return: the gift of our hearts. This is the lifechanging message of The Jesus Gift, beautifully wrapped in the moving
words and music of cherished Christmas songs — ranging from favorite
carols to contemporary offerings by Michael W. Smith and Shannon
Wexelberg, to such beloved standards as "Light of the Stable" and "The
Jesus Gift." Imaginative arranger Tom Fettke and colorful orchestrator
Russell Mauldin have artfully fashioned a 37-minute musical that is long
on impact, yet moderately easy to prepare and present. Featuring a single
narrator, a short child narration, and limited solos, the musical is ideal for
choirs with limited resources or rehearsal time. So, come experience The
Jesus Gift – it is the perfect offering to present to your congregation and
community this Christmas!
