CHRISTMAS PEACE

Dear Lord its been so hectic,

Running all around,

I am missing the important things,

That in You only, can be found!

Where is the Christmas peace,

that I need deep within my soul,

Why don’t I just slow down,

and try not to reach so many goals?

My Spirit longs for silent night,

Holy is the Lamb,

Just to sit in stillness

and get to know you, the great “I Am”.

They call it “Midnight madness” Lord,

Shopping all hours of the night,

Running out the doors,

To me, its such a fright!

Sale signs flashing, neon lights,

bright as Rudolph’s nose, Merrily on our way we go,

dashing through the snow.

Remind me lord

once again

about Peace on Earth

Goodwill to men!

Child You need

the stillness of the night.

Not dashing to and fro,

In Me, you will find your true Delight!

Listen to the carols,

let them minister to your soul,

Let all else fall away child,

Till you know your Spirits whole.

Man has turned things upside down,

don’t get caught in this frantic pace,

Lay aside these burdens,

Child, this is not a race.

Look upon your window pane,

For the softly fallen snow,

all about you I have created things,

To make your Spirit all aglow!

Let there be reflection,

Quiet and still your soul,

Spend time with Me, away from all,

And Christmas Peace, you’ll always know!
