Santa's
Prayer On Christmas Eve
By Warren D. Jennings
¡@
The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed,
But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed.
¡@
"Dear Father," he prayed "Be with me tonight.
There's much work to do and my schedule is tight.
I must jump in my sleigh and streak through the sky,
Knowing full well that a reindeer can't fly.
¡@
I will visit each household before the first light,
I'll cover the world and all in one night.
¡@
With sleighbells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof,
Amid the soft clatter of each little hoof.
¡@
To get in the house is the difficult part,
So I'll slide down the chimney of each child's heart.
¡@
¡@
My sack will hold toys to grant all their wishes.
The supply will be endless like the loaves and the fishes.
¡@
I will fill all the stockings and not leave a track.
I'll eat every cookie that is left for my snack.
¡@
I can do all these things Lord, only through You,
I just need your blessing, then it's easy to do.
¡@
All this is to honor the birth of the One,
That was sent to redeem us, Your most Holy Son.
¡@
¡@
So to all of my friends, least Your glory I rob,
Please Lord, remind them who gave me this job."
