Jesus Your Presence,
Is the greatest present.
You are pure love, peace
And understanding.
For me, you would sit,
And wait for eternity…
This Christmas, may I not forget,
Take for granted or overlook,
Your enduring peaceful Spirit,
Which surpasses the human understanding.
May I not get too caught up,
Or lost in the holiday craze…
Forgetting You are the true
“Reason for the season!”
You may not come wrapped in,
Ribbons and bows,
Your subtle, quiet Light,
May not glisten as bright,
As the Rockefeller Center tree,
In New York City…
But as for peace and understanding,
Nothing matches the Light,
Of Your Loving Presence…
Christmas, the gift of
Christ living within our souls.
