A Christmas Prayer

O Father up in Heaven,
Who all life has been given;
We praise You what you have done,
In the giving of Your Son.

The burst of an infant cry,
Mother with a happy sigh;
Penetrating through the night,
As a star above shined bright.

For Your love has filled my life,
That overpowers the strife;
With the joys of Christmastime,
As I hear the church bells chime.

The bells announces the birth,
Giving a new peace on earth;
While a star giving hope,
Opens up with a new scope.

For love came down within sight,
In needing a guiding light;
So a manger for a king,
As angels began to sing.

It gives us transformation,
Into a new creation;
That we shall truly receive,
Rebirth if we do believe.
