Honored Dinner Guest

Happy Birthday Jesus
This is your special day
You're welcome in my home
I'd be honoured if you'd stay

The table has been set
Please hear my simple prayer
I pray you will be seated
In your own special chair

At the head of my table
is the place where you belong
When I've  sat in your place
I've often got it wrong

As you smile on my guests
I know You Love each one
We're honored to be with You
God's precious only Son

What can we give to you
Would you like a sip of wine
I suspect the gift you want
Is for us to share our time

So Happy Birthday Jesus
Please stay here every day
Teach me to become wise
So I can live a better way

this is really wonderful, Richard. It's so nice to see someone with the real spirit of Christmas. I like when you wrote: "the head of the table. the place you belong. . ." Such wisdom in that. Luv, Andrea
