	Story Behind the Song This one came from an instramental that my cousin "Brotha" Joe wrote and recorded. Back in the day, we would either get together at my house or his and just stay up all night recording. He lives in San Antonio and I in Corpus Christi. On the way home from one of our all nighters I kept listening and re-listening to this song of his. After a while I put these words to his beautiful arrangement. It's a song about the gift that each of us has and about my journey of not knowing, denying, and realizing the gift Jesus is. Lyrics The Gift music by Joe Sulak words by vic benys I didn't want to know I didn't want to know what you meant to me (2x) I didn't want to see I didn't want to see what you showed to me(2x) But when i looked inside And saw that love was there And it was meant to be I didn't want to find I didn't want to find what you hid for me (2x) But when i looked inside And found that love was near And it was meant to be I didn't want to give I didn't want to give what you gave to me I didn't want to show I didn't want to show what you showed to me But when i looked inside And found that love was there And it was meant to be given
