The Gift - Ameritz Tribute Standards (阿莫瑞兹致敬标准)[00:00:00]

A poor orphan girl named Maria[00:00:06]

Was walking to market one day[00:00:12]

She stopped for to rest by the road side[00:00:17]

Where a bird with a broken wing lay[00:00:22]

A few moments passed till she saw it[00:00:28]

For it's feathers were covered with sand[00:00:34]

And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling[00:00:40]

In the warmth of her weal small hand[00:00:45]

She happily gave her last peso[00:00:51]

Or a cage made of freshes and twine[00:00:56]

She fed it loose corn from the market[00:01:02]

And watched it grow stronger with time[00:01:08]

Now the Christmas Eve service was coming[00:01:13]

And the church armed with tinsel and light[00:01:19]

And all of the town folk brought presents[00:01:25]

To lay by the manger that night[00:01:30]

There were diamonds incents and perfumes[00:01:36]

And packages fit for a king[00:01:41]

But for one ragged bird in the small cage[00:01:47]

Maria had nothing to bring[00:01:53]

She waited till just before midnight[00:01:58]

So no one could see her go in[00:02:04]

And crying she knelt by the manger[00:02:10]

For her gift was unworthy of him[00:02:15]

Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness[00:02:21]

Maria what brings you to me[00:02:27]

If the bird in the cage is your offering[00:02:32]

Open the door let me see[00:02:38]

Though she trembled[00:02:43]

She did as he asked her[00:02:45]

And out of the cage the bird flew[00:02:49]

Soaring up into the rafters[00:02:55]

On a wing that had healed good as new[00:03:00]

And just then the midnight bells rang out[00:03:06]

And the little bird started to sing[00:03:11]

A song that no words could recapture[00:03:17]

Whose beauty was fit for a king[00:03:23]

Now Maria felt blessed just to listen[00:03:28]

To the cascade of notes sweet and long[00:03:34]

As her offering was lifted to heaven[00:03:39]

By the very first nightingale's song[00:03:45]
