Prepare My Heart (John 1: 23 'Make Straight The Way For The Lord') Poem by JoAnn McGrath

Prepare My Heart (John 1: 23 'Make Straight The Way For The Lord')

Rating: 5.0


The Christmas season is upon me now
And I ask you Lord to not allow
That stress and strain won't lead to resent
And forgetfulness of this blessed event

And just as John asked ' To prepare the way'
I ask you Lord to do the same this day
Prepare my heart anew this season
And remind me that this Child is the reason

Just as Christ started as a child
One so lowly meek and mild
He then grew to understand
What it was that God commands

So let me not forget my childlike ways
To depend, trust and be amazed
To rediscover the gift of giving
And pass on the light to all the living

Thank you Pastor Ted Tate
For the inspiration of this message
