christmas prayer

the lights of the city shine bright red and green, but sometimes the season is not what it seems, in heartache or joy let me rest in your care, be near me lord jesus, this is my christmas prayer, the wise men brought treasures, the shepherds bowed down, the angels were singing their glorious sound, i have no great riches, no gift to impart, what can i give you?, lord, i will give my heart, be near me lord jesus, i ask you to stay, close by me forever, i pray, through the storm, through the night, hold me close, be my light, show the way, bless all of your children, we need your embrace, we hunger for mercy, and long for your grace, our grateful devotion is all we can bring, we praise you, we bless you, jesus, our savior and king, how great is the gift just to know you are there, be near me, lord jesus, be near me, lord jesus, this is my christmas prayer
