Anticipation Prayer

 

I wait for the day of Your coming,

This blessing of past and present time

In waiting I stay, until then I pray

That this year I’m ready, heart and mind

 

For the gift You gave

Is that we may be saved

And leave all evil behind

 

To show us the way, You came

To grace us and save us with love

To help us on our way

Perfection, from God above

 

This year I will try

To let troubles go by

And know Your love is enough

 

Yet I want not what I need

And I need not what I want

You alone know what is due

Your love makes all things new

 

Your birthday comes near

So I’ll prepare more this year

And do what I should do

 

To be clean of heart

To do my part

In making Christmas

My personal gift to you
