A Christmas Prayer

Leave a reply 
 The day is finally here
 A day of mirth and good cheer
 We’ve waited this long
 And sung all the songs
 That deck the halls this year
  
 The Christmas tree shines so bright
 And the houses are covered with lights
 The presents are many
 The foods getting ready
 And soon we’ll all wake from the night
  
 The children flock to the tree
 And open their presents with glee
 Paper flies everywhere
 Parents laugh without a care
 They just hope the children are pleased
  
 Once all the presents are open
 It’s time for the feast to begin
 We sit at the table
 And all who are able
 Take turns as we start to dig in
  
 Then a gentle hand says wait
 Let’s take a minute to pray
 So they all bow their heads
 As these words are said
 To give God the thanks for this day
  
 Oh, the joy of Christmas
 Glad tidings we all sing
 Blessed Hallelujahs
 To the King of Kings
 Glory in the highest
 Emmanuel is here
 Let’s not forget the reason
 For this special time of year
  
 Because God sent His son
 In a manger bed He lay
 Such a simple start
 Yet we celebrate this day
 Because that little babe
 Gave His life our debt to pay
 And now we’re born again
 If we follow in His way
  
 There’s a hush that fills the room
 As a little child says
 I want to follow Him
 Will you show me the way?
 And right there at the table
 Before the meal begins
 We pray the sinner’s prayer
 And that child has entered in
  
 Oh, the joy of Christmas
 Glad tidings we all sing
 Blessed Hallelujahs
 To the King of Kings
 Glory in the highest
 Emmanuel is here
 Let’s not forget the reason
 For this special time of year
  
  

My Christmas Gift

Leave a reply 
 I searched for a gift this Christmas
 A gift I could give to all
 It would have to be inexpensive
 And hopefully rather small
  
 I shopped on the net for days
 And nothing seemed quite right
 So I went to some stores in the city
 And I looked for several nights
  
 But the perfect gift was elusive
 Nothing I saw seemed to fit
 I started to think it was hopeless
 But then found the perfect gift
  
 It was free to any who wanted
 It was small, so I’d keep it in hand
 It was easy to give out to others
 I decided that this fit the plan
  
 This gift didn’t need to be wrapped up
 And it wasn’t some cute little toy
 All I had to do was give it
 The recipient would have much joy
  
 I’m giving Jesus this Christmas
 I’m telling my friends of His love
 I’m sharing with them His salvation
 And His mercy that rains from above
  
 I’ll share with them the Christmas story
 And the Easter story as well
 They will hear how much He loves them
 They’ll be touched by the story I tell
  
 This gift will last them a lifetime
 And they’ll live for eternity
 Safe in the arms of the Savior
 Forever they will be free
  
 This Christmas give all a present
 That will last for the rest of time
 Give everyone Jesus
 And give them the gift of life. 
  

This Christmas

Leave a reply 
 Amidst all of the packages
 That sit under the tree 
 As I look around the house
 Decorated in beauty
 And I smell the sweet aroma
 Of the up and coming feast
 I can’t help but think of Him
  
 And when the day is over
 And the crowd is heading home
 I will sit in my nice lounge chair
 And my mind will surely roam
 Perhaps I’ll take a nap
 As I take some time alone
 To give thanks to my Savior and Lord
  
 Let’s lift up holy hands
 To Jesus Christ our Lord
 This Christmas
 Let’s lift our voices high
 To the one that we adore
 This Christmas
  
 Let’s fully magnify
 The one who came to die
 Let’s shout aloud our praise
 Because He gave us life
 Let’s worship the great name
 Of our Savior Jesus Christ
 This Christmas Day
  
 He came to earth a babe
 And in a manger lay
 He gave up heavens throne
 To come to earth this day
 Shepherds came to worship
 Wise Man kneeled and prayed
 As they gave their gifts to Him that day         
  
 He grew to be a man
 Anointed from above
 And then condemned to die
 To show us of His love
 He gave His life for me
 His mercy is enough
 This Christmas Day
  
 Let’s lift up holy hands
 To Jesus Christ our Lord
 This Christmas
 Let’s lift our voices high
 To the one that we adore
 This Christmas
  
 Let’s fully magnify
 The one who came to die
 Let’s shout aloud our praise
 Because He gave us life
 Let’s worship the great name
 Of our Savior Jesus Christ
 This Christmas Day
