Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

A poor girl named Maria
Was walking to one day
She for to rest by the roadside
a bird with a broken wing lay

A few moments passed she saw it
For feathers were covered with sand
But soon and wrapped it
Was traveling in the warmth of Maria's small

She happily gave her peso
On a cage of rushes and twine
She fed it corn from the market
And watched it stronger with time

Now the Christmas Eve service was
And the church shone tinsel and light
And all of the town folks presents
To lay by the manger night

were diamonds and incense
And perfumes in packages fit for a
But for one ragged bird in a small
Maria had to bring

She till just before midnight
So no one see her go in
And crying she by the manger
For her gift was of Him

the Lord spoke to her through the darkness
"Maria, brings you to me
If the bird in the cage is offering
the door and let me see"

she trembled, she did as He ask her
And out of the cage the flew
Soaring up the rafters
On a that had healed good as new

then the midnight bells rang out
And the bird started to sing
A song no words could recapture
Whose was fit for a king

Now Maria felt blessed just to
To that cascade of notes sweet and
As her offering was lifted to
By the very first song
