We Celebrate Your Birth - By Joanna Fuchs

Dear Lord, as we celebrate Your birth, let us remember that You are the true reason for Christmas.

Let every sparkling light remind us how You illuminate our lives, a shining beacon to guide us in our thoughts and actions each day, and how You light us from within in the knowledge of Your love and truth.

Let the Christmas trees, standing straight, tall, unbowed, remind us of Your uprightness, Your goodness, Your perfection, and Your refusal to bow to worldly temptations, no matter how great the challenge or trouble.

Lord, as we feast on Christmas treats, let us remember that You are the sole provider of everything worth having, that all good things come from You.

And as we enjoy our gifts, let us never forget that You are the greatest gift of all--our wonderful Savior, Counselor, Giver of an eternal life whose wonders we cannot imagine.

So as we delight in Christmas, the happiest and brightest of holidays, let us remember there would be no Christmas without You, Lord, and let us our hearts be filled with joy, and love and thankfulness, this Christmas and all the ones to come.

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Amazing Grace

Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace. – Jerry Bridges –

I love this song much :-)
Key of G

I.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind but now I see

 CH.        

My chains are gone, I've been set free.

My God, My Savior has ransomed me.

And like a flood his mercy reigns.

Un-ending love, amazing grace

 II.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear,

The hour I first believed!

 III.

The Lord has promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be,

As long as life endures.

 IV.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who call’d me here below,

Will be forever mine.

(Will be forever mine)

(You are forever mine)
