Today I had a vision 

that God came to my door.

The feeling in my heart, 

I'd never had before.

He said He had a gift for me, 

a very precious one.

He said it was because of all 

the nice things I have done.

He said I have been kind, 

and not much did I seek,

So He stopped by to give this gift, 

to make my life complete.

I couldn't help but wonder, 

what God must have in mind,

But in my heart I knew for sure, 

nowhere else would I find.

He told me I must cherish this, 

and give back all I could,

And without I doubt I knew, 

I'd do everything I should.

I waited then to see, 

what this precious gift would be,

He said I must give half of me; 

that would be my guarantee.

He told me to hold out my hand, 

but still I had no clue,

Then He placed His hand in mine, 

and said my gift was YOU.
