Silent night
Lord, in these moments when the kids are asleep (and I should be), when I’ve put down my work and am lying here, finally still, help me to find You.
Holy night
Help me to remember why I’m doing all of these things. Why it matters. What it’s really about.
All is calm
Remind me that when my days are full of chaos and stress, of clutter and demands, that there’s no room left for You.
All is bright
You shine all around, but I forget to notice. I forget to be a conduit of your Holy, loving light.
Round yon virgin, mother and child
But the light shines wherever You are, drawing our attention towards You, the center of it all. We can’t help but gather round.
Holy infant so tender and mild
Oh, sweet, gentle One, You are holy and kind.
Sleep in heavenly peace
I’ll rest in the assurance that You are here. That You are real.
Sleep in heavenly peace
I’ll sleep, wrapped in your peaceful embrace. Amen.
