I had the nicest Christmas list, The longest one in town, Till Daddy looked at it and said, "You'll
have to cut it down."
I knew that what he said was true Beyond the faintest doubt, But was amazed to hear him say, "You've
left your best friend out."
And so I scanned my list again, And said, "Oh, that's not true!" But Daddy said, "His
name's not there, That Friend who died for you."
And then I clearly understood, 'Twas Jesus that he meant; For Him who should come first of all I hadn't
planned a cent!
I'd made a Christmas birthday list, And left the Saviour out! But, oh, it didn't take me long To change
the list about.
And though I've had to drop some names of folks I like a lot, My Lord must have the most---because
His name is at the top!
