Don Moen - Christmas Prayer lyrics

The lights of the city shine bright red and green But sometimes the season is not what it seems In heartache or joy let me rest in Your care Be near me Lord Jesus This is my Christmas prayer The wise men brought treasures, the shepherds bowed down The angels were singing their glorious sound I have no great riches, no gift to impart What can I give You? Lord, I will give my heart Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask You to stay Close by me forever, I pray Through the storm, through the night Hold me close, be my light, show the way Bless all of Your children, we need Your embrace We hunger for mercy, and long for Your grace Our grateful devotion is all we can bring We praise You, we bless You Jesus, our Savior and King How great is the gift just to know You are there Be near me, Lord Jesus Be near me, Lord Jesus This is my Christmas prayer
