A Christmas Prayer
Look down upon us Lord,
as we celebrate your birth;
help us to faithfully reflect
upon Your life and its great worth.
You are our hope,
our joy and our peace;
this Christmas time,
may your love find release.
A world more troubled
than ever before
needs your love to be felt
instead of heartache and war.
We pray this Christmas
for your presence dear;
to fill each home
with your love and good cheer.
Gift us faith so strong
to believe things unseen;
hope for salvation
of hearts made ever keen
to share the gospel
of your love divine,
so that hearts the world ‘round
will become entwined.
We give thanks for your blessings
that all year have abound,
and thank you for your love gifts,
showered amongst us all around.
May your peace and joy
touch the hearts of all men
at this Christmas time—
Hallelujah, Amen.
