A Christmas Heart

Christmas time and all I see
Are things that still are yet to be.
Stockings still are packed somewhere
And the trees outside aren't even bare.

How will Christmas come this year?
From what I see we've need to fear.
Will the snow fall down tonight
Covering the world in glowing light?

Are we sure our family kin
Will find their way out here to din?
I know we have a few more days
To fix the things I see delayed.

I know that Christmas still can come
Even if the lights aren't strung.
But Christmas feels so far away,
So with my heart I'll kneel to pray.

O God above, hear my pleas
And send some magic down with speed.
Or will the love from You tonight
Help me see that all is right?

I have the things I really need
To feel the season's warmth indeed.
With love to fill these doubtful eyes,
I want to trust Christ as my guide.

He came to Earth for all of us
And lived a life with little fuss.
He knows I want this Christmas time
To feel so special and sublime.

He knows the things I do not see
Bear little weight for eternity.
He lights my heart with Christmas cheer,
Bringing heaven oh so near.

Thank you Friend, dear Jesus Christ,
For all you do for us each night.
And what you've done for me this day
As in faith I knelt to pray.

You've helped me talk to God above
And with Your grace to feel His love.
Christmas came all on its own
Because I made your heart my home.
