Gift from the Heart



Gift Song
Heart, heart, heart how you long to be
Hope, hope, hope how you dream to be
Deep, deep, deep in this circle
Of love
Sweet, sweet, sweet are the songs we sing
Leaves, leaves, leaves of the living tree
Hold, hold, hold all the joy
Of this love
Wide, wide, wide is the circle
Where we all gather together
And bless, bless, bless all this miracle
Love
Share, share, share every gift we bring
Home, home, home is the memory
And see, see, see with the eyes
Of this love
Wide, wide, wide is the circle...
Wide, wide, wide is the circle....
