Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

A poor orphan girl Maria
Was to market one day
She stopped for to rest by the
Where a bird with a broken lay

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

She gave her last peso
On a cage made of and twine
She fed it loose corn 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 folks brought presents
To lay by the manger night

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

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

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

she trembled, she did as He ask her
And out of the cage the flew
up into 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 beauty was fit for a

Now felt blessed just to listen
To that cascade of notes and long
As her was lifted to Heaven
By the first nightingale's song
