See…

O Lord
Help me to see
From an “Eternity” perspective.

When the tinsel glitters
And the tree lights twinkle
Help me to see
Past the superficial
To the Real Thing…
To remember that
All those years ago
You came down.
A helpless baby
In a hostile world.

When the busyness
Overwhelms
In this world
With its own hostilities
Help me to see
That you are still here
Precious One –
Prince of Peace,
Who came to die
To save my life.

Help me to see
The manger, long ago
Where God’s Master Plan
Resided
In a fragile child,
And hope prevailed.
You showed Your love –

Oh, how You love us!

In the bustle and the noise,
Help me to see
The Gift.
