A Christmas Remembrance
|
My favorite season
is here once again,
The time to remember
the Savior of men,
Who left Heaven's glory
to come down to earth,
And lie in a manger
the night of His birth.
He came here to die,
all my sins to forgive,
That some day in Heaven
with Him I might live.
I look all around
at the beautiful sights,
The shops and the malls
with their glitter and lights;
The songs about Christmas,
and sleigh bells that ring,
And children, and pageants,
and choirs that sing.
And I am so busy
from morning till night,
Preparing and planning
to do things just right,
While shopping, and cleaning,
and cooking each day,
With packages, ribbons,
and cards on display,
But please help me stop, Lord,
and take time for You,
And pray for Your guidance
in each thing I do.
Whenever I'm baking
each goodie and treat,
May I not forget those
with nothing to eat.
And may I be willing
to share of my wealth,
So they may be nourished,
and brought back to health.
And as I send greetings
to friends I love so,
Please help me to pray
for Your saints I don't know,
Who suffer in prisons
for bearing Your Name,
Forgotten, alone,
undeserving of blame.
Each time I am cleaning
to keep my home neat,
Please help me remember
the ones on the street
Who shiver because
they've no place to stay warm,
No shelter at all
to protect from the storm.
And as I go shopping,
and see the display
Of countless new garments
in splendid array,
Please keep my heart tender
towards people in need,
With loving compassion,
devoid of greed.
When reading the Bible
that tells of Your care,
Lord, give me a passion
for souls in despair
Who know not the Savior
Who saves them from sin.
Please help me to share,
and by faith draw them in.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
