Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

A poor girl named Maria
Was walking to one day
She for to rest by the roadside
Where a bird with a wing lay

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

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

Now the Christmas Eve was coming
And the church shone tinsel and light
And all of the town brought presents
To lay by the manger that

were diamonds and incense
And perfumes in packages fit for a
But for one bird in a small cage
had nothing to bring

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

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

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

then the midnight bells rang out
And the bird started to sing
A that no words could recapture
Whose beauty was fit for a

Now Maria felt blessed just to
To that cascade of sweet and long
As her offering was lifted to
By the first nightingale's song
