Santa’s Prayer

by e. GENE MYERS

Father,

Please help me keep a humble heart
with thoughts focused on Thee,
for I too am loved throughout the world
and too many are watching me.

I’m not the one whose birthday shines
throughout this troubled earth.
‘Twas Jesus Christ, so long ago,
who changed mankind by birth.

It was Jesus who died for us
that we might return to Thee.
It is this son, who deserves Thy praise,
not Santa …. No …. not me.

It was this Son who gave to man
the stories of Thy great love.
It was Jesus who showed to man
true love from up above.

Father,
I kneel and pray to Thee,
love Christ as I love Thee.
And to help me keep a humble heart,
please … shine Thy love through me.

Santa
