Merry Christmas Eve

There are many things that take my breath away Gentle rain drizzling softly, whispering through my prayers Stardust clinging to my laughter on the edge of night Snowflakes shimmering on the pines, melting in the sunlight Crisp, cool mornings rustling with leaves, vibrant, dancing … falling through the Autumn dreams There are many things that take my breath away Above them all, though, comes the One who gave me Eternal life, relief from strife, hope of the afterlife The One who was born in a stable, surrounded by grace, Alive with sweetest faith… praising our Creator, amazing… … He would go to a cross to save me There are many things that take my breath away The laughter of a child who is filled with pure delight The inspiration of a heart who loves beyond its thoughts The miracle of a birth, the pleasure in nature – our earth The wisdom of giving Jesus His rightful place … inside a heart who longs to worship the Savior There are many things that take my breath away But, it is His love that leaves me feeling weak with thanks That I can know Him personally, worship him permanently Throughout eternity – everlasting peace bringing to me A sense of assurance that I have been chosen to believe … in the beautiful Savior, the One who created me There are many things that take my breath away This Christmas Eve… I’m thankful to be a child of His The One who came to give us a second chance A renewed faith – born in the shadow of His cross Where He gave us the opportunity to seek Him out … be forgiven and live with Him everlastingly! Merry Christmas Eve, my friends May your hope, faith and love Never leave you wanting or worried But forever praising the One Who created and gave us each one … love that is greater than any present I know!
