~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I pray for God to shine His light, Down on us, who remember the night When a Savior was born, the way and life The One who would relieve us from our strife I pray for God to seek those who’re lost The ones who will never count the cost Because of love, He silences all our fears Sends His peace and wipes away our tears I pray for God to open our eyes so we can see Beyond the darkness, beyond the doubt in my plea I hope He sheds light on the forever – with His grace Silencing the worries and sending love with each embrace I pray for God to listen to what my heart speaks Words of joy, words that comfort through the weeks Humbling souls so heaven is our greatest need Remembering that even the stars have been freed I pray for God to pour out His love across our lives Seeking souls who His promise of life always revives Collecting dreams and offering healing for our pain Even though He is so powerful and has nothing to gain I pray for God to wash our souls in His sacred blood Pouring out light divine through the unending flood Amazing our hearts as they turn from dark to light Coloring spirits with peace that makes everything right I pray for God to invite us to His table, the generosity Hope, faith and love that doesn’t depend on reciprocity The warmth of grace that will save us from our faults Kindling light who will shine joy louder than thunderbolts I pray for God to reach beyond His heavenly home To seek each sinner, saving the souls who often roam Speak His wisdom to the hearts who need to hear His loving spirit abides inside those who keep Him near I pray for God to fill this season with His wonders With a trembling light who shines through thunders Forcing each soul to listen to what He is saying With this Christmas, never give up, just keep praying I pray that God never stops His saving!
