Every
year at this time I look for ways to reach out to those who need
this season's comfort and joy but who find the holidays to be a
difficult time... Perhaps you're one of those folks or perhaps you know
some others who are... Let's pray together...
 |
Lord,
the jolly jingles are all around -
but not in every heart...
Red and green are everywhere -
but some folks
just feel blue...
The rushing 'round
to buy and wrap
disheartens lonely souls...
Plans for Christmas eve
forget
the ones who'll be alone...
This merry month can be,
for some,
the saddest time of year...
forget
the ones who'll be alone...
This merry month can be,
for some,
the saddest time of year...
So, help me, Lord,
to share, not miss,
what comfort comes my way...
Help me see
when clouds of blue
engulf my neighbor's heart...
Help me hear and tend
whose tears may fall
whose tears may fall
when bells chime out...
Help me wrap
my love to share,
with those who'll be alone...
You came, O Lord,
as one like us,
to mend our broken hearts...
You know our loss,
you share our pain,
you feel our empty ache...
Then drop a blessing
from your hand
on brokenhearted souls:
your gentle touch
as soft as snow,
your peace on Christmas day...
Protect us, Lord, while we're awake,
watch over us while we sleep
that awake, we keep the watch with you
and sleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.

I have unanswered prayersI have trouble I wish wasn't thereAnd I have asked a thousand waysThat you would take my pain awayYou would take my pain away
You would take my pain away
I am trying to understandHow to walk this weary landMake straight the paths that crooked lieOh Lord, before these feet of mineOh Lord, before these feet of mine
When my world is shaking Heaven standsWhen my heart is breaking I never leave your hands
When you walked upon the earthYou healed the broken, lost, and hurtI know you hate to see me cryOne day you will set all things rightYeah, one day you will set all things right
When my world is shaking Heaven standsWhen my heart is breaking I never leave your hands
Your hands, your hands that shape the worldAre holding me, they hold me stillYour hands that shape the worldAre holding me, they hold me still
When my world is shaking Heaven standsWhen my heart is breaking I never leave your hands
