Our Christmas Prayer
Nilo Nucup, Don Mauro Gomez, jesuit Communications Foundation Inc, Limang Siglo
Chorus:
Christmas has come, a new day has dawned
In our lives, our great hope is born.
Christmas is now, we welcome the morn
In our hearts, in our midst, our Saviour is born.
I.
Lord, make us your manger to rest
Make us your solace for the oppressed
Make us your calm amidst the noise
Make us your truth, the living voice.
(Chorus)
Lord, make us your beckoning star
Make us your presence never afar
Make us your healing to all the pains
Make us your home, the heaven's reign. (Chorus)
III.
Lord, make us long and lasting peace
Make us your reason for wars to cease
Make us your hand that reaches out
Make us what love is all about.
(Chorus)
Coda:
Christmas is for taking and thanking
It is for breaking and giving
