Dear Lord,

Send me a gentle breeze tonight to lift my heavy sleigh,

a big bright moon and sparkling stars to guide me on my way.

Give me the strength I need, my Lord, to deliver to each girl and boy

the secret wish they've dreamed of that comes in each shiny toy.

My work may not seem important compared to all You do,

especially at this time of year when they seem to forget about You

and turn, instead, to earthly goods to pile beneath a tree;

forgetting, in their spirit, that it's all about You, not me.

Bless my journey this night, Oh Lord, and I will find a way

to remind them of the Babe 'twas born upon one Christmas Day

when gifts were given to honor You instead of for ourselves,

when wise men knelt in awe of You, not Santa and some elves.

Bless me Lord, for I will fly to cities near and far

reminding all along the way way of the bright and shining star

that led to a manger in Bethlehem where a little baby boy

was born upon a Christmas night to bring us love and joy.
