Lift me up
above the rushing and whirling crowds
the hustle and bustle of a season gone cold
Help me to see beyond
gifts and good food
beyond debt and extra pounds
Hold me there
upon that pedestal
to dine on the truth of your birth
to indulge in your glorious forgiveness
to drink in the grace and mercy
You so freely lavish on an undeserving soul
continuously filling my cup
overflowing, never-ending
For this is the reason
This is the moment
I long to hold fast to
in my heart
this Christmas season
