IT’S  CHRISTMAS

It’s Christmas in the city.

Where is my lost child now?

Lord, please speak to his tender spirit.

Help him remember Your Birth somehow.

It’s Christmas in our churches.

But churches have let many abused children down.

Dear Lord, heal my child by Your Spirit.

May Your love restore and resound.

It’s Christmas in our family.

My wayward child is far from home.

Surround him with Your Presence.

No matter where he roams.

(and Lord, could I request that he call home?)

It’s Christmas in my spirit.

Yet my disappointed heart is sad.

Lord, soothe my thoughts at Christmas

While Your Presence lovingly pursues my lad.
