Our Father in Heaven,
We give thanks to You
For sending your Son
As an offering of grace
To defeat our common enemies
And to secure our salvation.
Your Love is our eternal life.
Our incarnate Savior.
We give thanks to You
For laying aside the power of heaven
To be born as a human child
For not refusing the cup of sacrifice
To give us the gift of eternal life.
Your love is our hope.
Our indwelling Holy Spirit
We give thanks to You
For your comfort and wisdom
For your prompting and conviction
For the seal of redemption
That secures us until the day
We enter the presence of Trinity.
In honor of the birth of the Messiah
We give to you our hearts –
May we love others as you love us –
We give you our minds –
May we think on things above –
We give you our souls –
For no one else is able to keep them –
We give you our strengths –
Without which we could not serve.
We only ask that you bless our readers
And grant them the peace and joy of Jesus
This Christmas season and forevermore
And the strength to disappoint our enemies
And to be a good and faithful servant of theMost High.
Amen
