Christmas Prayer
for you
because the season's near.
I didn't ask for riches
but for gifts so much more dear.
I asked for joyful gatherings
with your family all around,
and for carols to insipre you
with their old familiar sound.
I asked for quiet moments
in your heart on Christmas morn,
for a special time to celebrate
the Saviour who was born.
I asked for friends to send their best
that you might know they care...
I asked for peace & love & hope;
and I know God heard my prayer.
