I had posted this poem for Thanksgiving but decided to add a Christmas addendum. As we wait for Jesus to come and take us home, I think we should all be focused on honoring the LORD in all we do and say to thank Him for the priceless gift of our salvation! May you have a blessed Christmas!
My heart is filled with joy and love
With thankfulness and praise
For God’s great love and mercy
Forgiveness, peace and grace!
Help me, Lord, to honor You
In all I do and say
To boldly share Your truth in love
And in Your hands be clay.
Help me imitate Your Son
Submissive to Your will
Serving without thought to self
Your plan for me fulfill.
Help me to reflect Your heart
And with You, Lord, to grieve
For those enslaved and bound by sin
Refusing Your Son to receive.
Help me, Lord, to hear Your voice
And quickly to obey.
May others look at me and see
Your love ever on display.
Christmas addendum…
Help me, Lord, to share the news
Of Jesus and the cross
Of His great love and sacrifice
A gift to all the lost
To those who place their faith in Him
The power to conquer sin
And a home with Him in heaven
With joy that never ends.
