A Christmas Prayer
Oh, Father up in heaven,
We have wandered far away
From the Holy Little Christ Child
Who was born on Christmas Day...
And the Peace on Earth you promised
We’ve been unmindful of,
Not believing we could find it
In a simple thing called LOVE...
We’ve forgotten why You sent us
Jesus Christ, Your only Son,
And in arrogance and ignorance
It’s OUR WILL not THINE, BE DONE...
Oh, forgive us, heavenly Father,
Teach us how to be more kind
So that we may judge all people
With our heart and not our mind...
Oh God, in Your great goodness
May our guidance Christmas Night,
Be the STAR the Wise Men followed
Not a man-made satellite. by Helen Steiner Rice
