His Name Is at the Top

I had the nicest Christmas list,
The longest one in town,
Till daddy looked at it and said,
“You’ll have to cut it down.”

I knew that what he said was true
Beyond the faintest doubt,
But was amazed to hear him say,
“You’ve left your best friend out!”

And so I scanned my list again,
And said, “Oh, that’s not true!”
But daddy said, “HIS name’s not there,
That Friend who died for you.”

And then I clearly understood,
‘Twas JESUS that he meant;
For Him who should come first of all,
I hadn’t planned a cent!

I’d made a Christmas birthday list,
And left the Saviour out!
But, oh, it didn’t take me long
To change the list about.

And tho’ I’ve had to drop some names
Of folks I like a lot,
My LORD will have the BEST – 
HIS NAME IS AT THE TOP!
