A Christmas Prayer of Blessing to You!

Grace Moment by Moment-weekly column
Seasons Greetings to Everyone! This week I'd like to share another one of my Christmas poems with you. I pray it blesses you with God's Peace now and throughout the upcoming New Year!

O Child of Grace!
There is hope for this war-torn Christmas season,
that goes beyond all commonsense or reason.
For what Christ gave to this earth,
was the Promise of a new birth,
and as we struggle to win the fight
let us remember, on that long ago Bethlehem night
Christ came to earth a Child,
soft, gentle and mild.
And just as Joseph and Mary weighed this same Truth
so do I now Lord, as I think of You.
"O Child of Grace, Child of wonder,
filled with all mysteries yet to be pondered.
I ask Thee to come, dwell here in my heart,
imbue me with the assurance You will never depart."
With these words I am replenished with His abiding Peace,
and the knowledge He will never cease,
to change
and rearrange,
my life to resemble His.
Oh! How precious His Love really is!
With this my soul bursts forth in song to sing,
"Jesus Christ is Immanuel, God Incarnate, the Everlasting King of Kings!"
