A Christmas Wish



I'll spell out in this little rhyme
My wish for you this Christmas time.


This season special, though it be
is not the only time, you see


To celebrate and praises give
for what God did so we might live.


We love to look with tender eye
On Baby Jesus, where He lie


And wonder at Him, sweet and mild
This precious, tiny, Saviour Child.


But did you know that even now
He reigns above, and we should bow,


Give worship, honour, and adore;
He’s not a baby anymore!


He grew up like us, so He knew
All that we face; He faced it too!


He knows our greatest need is met
When He forgives our sins, and yet


We still resist, and He must move
To open hearts, and to us prove


That He is all we’ll ever need,
And in us place one tiny seed


Of faith that saves, and holds us fast
Until we see His face at last.


And so my wish, my prayer for you
Is that in grace, He would so do


If you have not Him yet received
Into your heart, then I would plead


That you might please consider then
Long past when Chrismas Season ends


This Jesus Christ, Who owns each day;
He is the Life, the Truth, the Way.
