A Christmas Prayer

Heavenly Father, our hearts are filled

With endless hope and joy,

As we celebrate the birth

Of a wondrous baby boy.

We also honor Mary,

Who faithfully agreed

To bear Your gift of Jesus,

So we sinners can be freed.

On bended knee we thank You,

Though words seem not enough

To express the praise that’s in our hearts,

For Your mercy, grace and love.

Amen

Patti J. Smith
