[Let me tell you 'bout a gift that's already yours
It's a kinda gift you won't be findin' in stores A present given to you before you were born It's yours for when you're happy and yours for when ya mourn. It's a treasure-like gold. It's ancient-like old. A mystery to ponder, a puzzle to hold sometimes it's like a door that can shut and open the questions keep you comin' back again and again I wonder... Could it be a parable? A PaPaPa Parable? You ready for a parable? A'right!] Well once upon a time there was a someone who liked to tell stories 'bout a kingdom But stories 'bout the kingdom made people's heads whirl It was unlike any kingdom you find in this world When people asked 'bout the kingdom he said, “The kingdom is like: someone who makes bread” Mix up the flour in a bowl and then hide in the mix a pinch of leaven It bubbles and swells then puffs up some more into a big loaf like you buy at the store |

A'right!] A Traveler was on the road to the city when robbers attacked and showed him no pity They robbed him, they hurt him, they left him half dead “Will anybody help?” the Traveler said Here comes the priest, will he help? No. How 'bout the Levite? No, he's gotta go. Then a Stranger comes from far away. The Stranger stops and the Stranger stays To help the Traveler who is hurt some medicine, some money, and a new shirt So who was the Neighbor? What do you say? Can a Neighbor be a Stranger from far away? |

You and me We're the St. Gregory’s FOG- That's “Friends of God”!] Well God's Friend Noah was on a walk See, Noah & God, they'd walk and talk God said it was time to send the rain To wash the world, make it new again So Noah and his family built a boat And when the rains came they stayed afloat With the animals from all the earth They floated and they waited for earth's rebirth At last a dove came with a leaf The flood was finally over. What a relief! God set a rainbow in the sky It's a promise –on that we can rely |

You and me We're the St. Gregory’s FOG- That's “Friends of God”!] The first gift of God was in Creation A gift for every single person, every nation Darkness, Light; Water, Sky, Land & Green Growing Things—Growing High! Then God gave us the Day & Night The fish that swim and the birds in flight Things that crawl and walk, then you & me Then the very best gift came finally--- (REST.... ZZZZZZ....) |
