My Journey to God

Behold Jesus

Do you have room
For Jesus in your heart
Do you bring light to those places
That are distant cold and dark
We must attend to things eternal
Loving all that is upright
God always listens to our prayers
His assurance is gentleness with might
Mary is the dawn
Of Christ’s splendor here on earth
Her “Yes” gives us God’s promise
Each day provides a new birth
The darkness around us is trembling
Knowing the power of God is here
It wants to distort His truth
Casting confusion destruction and fear
We can become part of the solution
When we dwell on what is good
Just as God gave Mary grace
Our “Yes” helps us do those things we should
Lasting hope is there for each of us
It is born in that space
The Lord knows our needs
He provides His strength along with grace
So gift the world with the best of yourself
By remembering Christmas’ true reason
Mary gave birth to our Savior long ago
Behold Jesus in your heart this season
