Santa's Christmas Prayer
By Warren D. Jennings
The sleigh was packed,
the reindeer were fed,
But Santa still
knelt
by the side of the bed.
"Dear Father," he prayed
"Be
with me tonight.
There's much work to do
and my schedule is tight.
I must jump in my sleigh
and streak through the sky,
Knowing full
well
that a reindeer can't fly.
I will visit each household
before the first light,
I'll cover the world
and all in one night.
With sleighbells a-ringing,
I'll land on each roof,
Amid the soft
clatter
of each little hoof.
To get in the house
is the difficult
part,
So I'll slide down the chimney
of each little heart.
My sack will hold toys
to grant all their wishes.
The supply will
be endless
like the loaves and the fishes.
I will fill all the
stockings
and not leave a track.
I'll eat every cookie
that's
left for my snack.
I can do all these things Lord,
only through You,
I just need
your blessing,
then it's easy to do.
All this is to honor
the birth of the One,
That was sent to redeem us,
Your most Holy
Son.
So to all of my friends,
lest Your glory I rob,
Please Lord, remind
them,
who gave me this job."
