A Christmas Prayer
Whether I walk with the downtrodden,
Or sit at the table of Kings
It is Christ in me I pray they see.
For the Lord is the Potter and I am the clay
I am only a brush in the hands of the Divine Designer
And a tool in the hands of the Master Craftsman
All eyes must be on Him
For only the Creator has the solution for a broken world
Remember that He performs best in the impossible
And he creates most from nothing
In a stable for animals, in an unknown town, to a poor young couple,
during an unfair taxation by the government,
the King of Kings chose to undress from His divinity
and poured himself into needy humanity as a baby.
From before His birth, He was destined for death on the cross
Because the recipe for Life has never changed
Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
Forgive us Father for we have lost our way
Our eyes are blinded by the things of this world and our hearts lead us astray
Again make the mountains tremble and cause the darkness to flee
With your loving mercies draw us back to you.
Let your church arise as your people drink from your Spirit
Let the sound of joy be heard again in the camp of the righteous
Put the orphans in families, bring the poor to the caring and peace to the anxious
We need you Lord!
