Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

A poor orphan girl named
Was walking to one day
She for a rest by the roadside
Where a bird with a broken lay
A few moments till she saw it
For feathers were covered with sand
But clean and wrapped it was travelling
In the of Maria's small hand

She happily her last peso
On a cage made of rushes and
She fed it loose corn from the
And it grow stronger with time

Now the Christmas Eve service was
And the church shone with tinsel and
And all of the townfolks brought
To lay by the manger that
There diamonds and incense
And
In packages fit for a
But for one ragged bird in a cage
Maria had nothing to

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

a voice spoke to her through the darkness
Maria, what you to me
If the bird in the cage is your
Open the and let me see
Though she trembled, she did as He 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 little bird started to
A song that no could recapture
beauty was fit for a king

Now felt blessed just to listen
To that cascade of notes sweet and
As her offerings was lifted to
By the very nightingale's song
