Jesus walks amongst us, a precious gift to all,
Ready to listen, coming when his hears us call.
Ready to stay with us, when our times become tough,
Ready to guide us and to smooth out all the rough.

Through the eyes of a child
(Matthew 18:5)
“Whoever welcomes one such child, welcomes me.”
Words spoken by Jesus with a child on his knee.
A blessing for children from hearing his voice,
A gift given with love, the saviour’s choice.
Through the eyes of a child, shines Jesus’ light,
Through the eyes of a child, heaven is in sight.
God gives to his children the hope of tomorrow,
A smile to bring joy and to lessen our sorrow.
Innocence and laughter reaching out in pure love,
Touching the soul and bringing peace from above.
Through the eyes of a child, God shows us the way,
Through the eyes of a child, God loves us today.

The First Christmas
(Luke 2:8-20 (Shepards), Matt 2:1-12 (wise men))
Born within a stable, with a donkey and the hay,
So the Christ Child silently, within a stall did lay.
A new star shone above him, brightly for all to see,
So came the shepherds and wise men, each numbering three.
Bringing special gifts, the first Christmas presents to give,
To worship the Child, born for us so that we all may live.
A special Christmas morning, God’s gift for all mankind,
That from His living presence, forgiveness we will find.
Born so He may teach us how to walk within God’s sight,
To lead us all from darkness, into the holy light.
To bring peace and understanding from heaven above,
And when we are lost or lonely, bringing us His love.

Forgive so that you may be forgiven
(Luke 6:37)
Forgive so that you may be forgiven, let Jesus heal from within,
Let go of the pain of betrayal and let his healing within you begin.
Believe so that you may be believed, let the truth of Jesus be known,
Let others know of his stories and the seeds from them that were sown.
Share faith so that others may know him, let Jesus show them the way,
Let them see the road to be followed and the path to be taken that day.
Give love so that others may love him, let Jesus into the heart,
Let him hold you within his loving embrace and to never again be apart.
For we are all on a life long journey with Jesus who wants us to teach,
That he is there for us all forever and his love never out of our reach.
That those who are lost he will find, guiding them over the sand,
That we are never alone for a moment, for he is always holding our hand.

If I but touch his cloak…
(Mark 05:25)
If I but touch his cloak,
Reach out to him with my hands.
If I but touch his cloak,
Move closer to where he stands.
His healing faith I believe,
That my wounded soul will mend.
His healing touch I will receive,
And my pains come to an end.
For Christ came here to free us,
To release our pain and fear.
For Christ came here to guide us,
At our sides, forever near.
His love is just a touch away,
For the saying of a prayer.
His love is in our hearts today,
For his love is forever there.

A wanderer in the wilderness
(Matthew 4:1, Luke 4:1)
A wanderer in the wilderness did Jesus walk alone,
A journey of enlightenment, of facing the unknown.
Surrounded by temptation, He refused to hear its call,
To depart from His path, the path of righteousness for all.
We may wander in a wilderness, with little hope in sight,
But we do not face our trails alone, for Jesus brings the light.
His footsteps come beside us when we walk alone in despair,
So gently and quietly that you may not feel that he is there.
He asks that you rest awhile, to give some time to him today,
To share a thought, to say a prayer and let him guide your way,
To trust in Him to lead you, to let Him hold you by the hand,
Then from the wilderness, he will guide you to the promise land.
