I thank You, Lord, that I am blessed with love and joy and peace;

I thank You, Lord, that I am learning humility, mercy and grace;

I thank You, Lord, that both on earth and in heaven I have a place.

I pray that all would realize the true meaning of this holiday;

I pray that with thankful hearts we not pass by any in need or lonely;

I pray that no one fights, and that all people would be free;

I pray that children everywhere can fearlessly play and live;

I pray that every heart would have hope and believe;

I pray that amongst the gifts that we receive, all may know the gift of giving.

I pray for a Merry Christmas for you and yours, and everyone!

If in our acts we showed love to all we see

If with our words every child could hear that someone cared

And if every heart dared to give free

What would the world be like if everyone shared?

I met a woman who was my sister; I spoke with a man who became my brother;

I helped a homeless person in need and we became friends…

I saw a girl laughing and I laughed with her, until we saw a person saddened and we too began to weep…

I was hungry and someone ate with me; I spoke to another of encouragement and they passed it on to many…

I worked with others to build a house, and together we passed out kindness to all we met…

I felt within myself with joy and gladness that every person alive is my family!

Dancing like David

Overwhelmed by mercy, a freedom no mortal can give

In praise and song a new life I have…

With abandon I do move, melody in every stride

Content and peace I cannot hide…

Unaware of people’s eyes, I’m sure they pause to stare

Hide my gratitude, I do not dare…

The One I worship I do so uninhibitedly, my heart declares no grief

The reason is love beyond belief…

My Saviour has rescued me, unimaginable joy that I have found

God’s tender affections know no bounds…

Breathing without effort, I find myself dancing carefree

This glorious life I live for thee!
