Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

A orphan girl named Maria
Was to market one day
She stopped for to by the roadside
Where a bird with a wing lay

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

She gave her last peso
On a cage made of rushes and
She fed it loose from the market
And watched it grow stronger with

Now the Eve service was coming
And the church with tinsel and light
And all of the town folks brought
To lay by the that night

There were diamonds and
And perfumes in fit for a king
But for one ragged bird in a small
Maria had nothing to

She waited till just before
So no one see her go in
And crying she knelt by the
For her was unworthy of Him

Then the spoke to her through the darkness
"Maria, what you to me
If the bird in the is your offering
Open the and let me see"

she trembled, she did as He ask her
And out of the the bird flew
up into the rafters
On a wing had healed good as new

Just the midnight bells rang out
And the little bird started to
A song that no words recapture
beauty was fit for a king

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