Don Moen My Christmas Prayer song lyrics

The lights of the city shine bright red and green

But sometimes the season is not what it seems

In heartache or joy let me rest in Your care

Be near me Lord Jesus

This is my Christmas prayer

The wise men brought treasures,

the shepherds bowed down

The angels were singing their glorious sound

I have no great riches, no gift to impart

What can I give You?

Lord, I will give my heart

Be near me Lord Jesus,

I ask You to stay

Close by me forever, I pray

Through the storm, through the night

Hold me close, be my light, show the way

Bless all of Your children, we need Your embrace

We hunger for mercy, and long for Your grace

Our grateful devotion is all we can bring

We praise You, we bless You

Jesus, our Savior and King

How great is the gift just to know You are there

Be near me, Lord Jesus

Be near me, Lord Jesus

This is my Christmas prayer
