Be near me, Lord Jesus! I ask thee to stay
close by me forever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
and fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
Yesterday, in church, I was too sick to participate in the singing of praise songs and carols, so I closed my eyes and just listened. I need to do this more often. Too often the words of a song gets lost in repetition. This verse of "Away in a Manger" will be my prayer throughout this Christmas season.
Our time here on earth is to prepare us for heaven and eternity with Jesus.
