What kind of gift can I give to the King?

Christmas is upon us. A season of celebration- though the reason is often lost in the noise of a commercial holiday. We are celebrating the birth of a special baby. That child changed the world. That child changed the course of history (literally the calendar we use to this day). Whatever one may think about Jesus - His influence on earth cannot be denied. Thousands of years after his death he still has millions of followers. His name is still relevant because we remember it and have formed opinions on him - like or dislike. 

I count myself one of his followers. I call him "my King."

I was recently reminded of a deep spiritual truth through a children's song I knew as a child.  It leaves me asking myself an important question on this day...

What kind of gift can I give to my King?

Question:
What can I give to the King?
Give to the One who has everything?
What can I give?
What gift can i bring?
What can I give to the King?
What can I give to the King?

Answer:
Give Him a heart that's opened up wide
Give Him a life that's got nothing to hide
Give Him a love that's tender and true
And He'll give it all back to you
Yes, He'll give it all back to you

Question:
What can we give to the King?
Give to the One who has everything?
What can we give?
What gift can we bring?
What can we give to the King?
What can we give to the King?

Answer:
Give Him all glory, His people on earth
Give Him all praises, this day of His birth
Give Him all honor in all that we do
As He's given His life to you
As He's given His life to you


Question:
What can we give to the King?
Give to the One who has everything?
What can we give to the King?
What can we give to the King?

What is your answer to this question?
