In celebration of the birth of Christ

My birthday gift to Jesus...a poem from my heart.

It's not much at all in the way of talent, but I felt moved to write something for Jesus after attending the Christmas Eve candle light service at my church.

It might seem silly to some, but I hope and pray it means a great deal to Him.



Happy Birthday, Jesus

You arrived in this world,
through Mary’s virgin womb.
knowing life would unfurl,
in omnipotent doom.

You are the Light of my life,
my Lord and Savior.
You were willing to die,
so I could stand in God’s favor.

My sins You’ve forgiven
my soul You’ve cleansed.
You’ve died and arisen,
for me and my friends.

I can never repay you,
except with my love.
Yet in all that I do
You wait from above.

How can it be?
That my love is enough?
What do you see in me?
I am sinful and rough.

You are the breath of my being,
The beacon of my soul.
You love me despite seeing
I'm an opposite pole.

I bow before you, My Lord,
with songs of thanks and praise.
And I try to move toward
Your magnificent Grace.

I long to be like you,
but know that I fail.
My soul you renew,
Your Glory, I hail.

With all of my heart,
I Love You, dear Lord.
I never wish to depart,
from the path of Your Word.

Thank you for loving me,
and blessing my life,
with hope of eternity,
through Your glorious light.

Happy Birthday, dear Jesus,
I offer my heart filled with love,
In hope that it pleases,
My Holy Savior from above.
