A CHRISTMAS
TO REMEMBER
Like every Christmas, one of the most
significant aspects is our ability to remember. We tell and retell the story so that it will NEVER be forgotten – GOD CAME INTO OUR WORLD AS A BABE IN THE
MANGER. Here’s one more prayer
to enjoy from one of my most favored books, Valley of Vision. I
hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Lord Jesus,
I am blind, be thou my
light,
ignorant, be thou my
wisdom,
self-willed, be thou my
mind.
Open my ear to grasp quickly
thy Spirit’s voice,
and delightfully run
after his beckoning hand;
Melt my conscience that no
hardness remain,
make it alive to evil’s
slightest touch;
When Satan approaches may I
flee to thy wounds,
and there cease to
tremble at all alarms.
Be my good shepherd to lead me
into
the green pastures of
thy Word,
and cause me to lie down
beside the rivers of its comforts.
Fill me with peace, that no
disquieting worldly gales
may ruffle the calm
surface of my soul.
Thy cross was upraised to be my
refuge,
Thy blood streamed forth to
wash me clean,
Thy death occurred to give me a
surety,
Thy name is my property to save
me,
By thee all heaven is poured
into my heart,
but it is too narrow to
comprehend thy love.
I was a stranger, an outcast, a
slave, a rebel,
but thy cross has brought
me near,
has softened my heart,
has made me thy Father’s
child,
has admitted me to thy
family,
has made me joint-heir
with thyself.
O that I may love thee as thou
lovest me,
that I may walk worthy of
thee, my Lord,
that I may reflect the image of heaven’s first-born.
May I always see thy beauty
with the clear eye of faith,
and feel the power of thy
Spirit in my heart,
for unless he move
mightily in me
no inward fire will be kindled. Amen!
