Christmas Bread

In keeping with the tradition of inserting poems written by my dad during cetain times in the calendar year, here's one of his Christmas Eve Poems.

Christmas Bread

Now we break this bread together

Lord be with us here today

Make our lives your home forever

In Jesus name we pray.

Thank you for all you've given us

and on this special night

We share the gift of your son Jesus

Truly born in love's pure light.

Such a gift beyond all knowing

We are humbled in His sight

To live our lives like candles glowing

Our purpose to reflect His light.

So now we start but without merit

Lord please show us the way

Grant us your grace so we inherit

Christ, our bread, on Christmas day.

Amen.
