Prayer for today (12/25/17)

What a gift we all got on this Christmas Day,

A baby named Jesus to teach us God’s way.

Being born in a manger couldn’t be much fun,

And it doesn’t seem fit for God’s only Son.

But oh what a friend we have in him,

For he always loves and forgives all sin.

There is no greater teacher we could find,

For he is God’s greatest gift to all mankind.

So praise his name and shout glory to Thee.

For he only lived and died to save you and me.
