HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS
By Tracy Nix

Happy Birthday Jesus,
You mean so much to many of us.
A cake for You, we will frost;
As we continue to find the lost!

Giving freely as You do,
Brings another one to You.
When we are in a valley so deep,
You help us climb hills so steep.

A celebration of Your life on Christmas day,
As many turn to You and pray,
And thank our Lord for sending You to earth,
A celebration of what You are still worth.

Souls are hurting, backs are breaking,
For Your life we are partaking,
Of Your Word & what it means,
To help our eyes shine with glean.

Glory to the Father on the Throne,
For providing a way to help us know,
Jesus is there when we are alone,
Even after to Heaven, You have gone!

Praise to God for always caring,
Thanks to those who are still sharing,
Words of comfort to me and others,
Saving souls & saving brothers.

Father, bless our worldly grief,
Praise to Jesus who gives relief.
Some are blessed & have much passion,
Praise to Jesus for His compassion.

Bless our troops in Iraq,
Father, would You bring the back?
Bless the families who miss them,
May they all still worship Him.

May the Angels be beside us,
As we celebrate on Christmas.
Jesus is the reason,
For the season!

Jesus is our guiding light,
The King with all His might,
Helps us when we are down,
As He takes away our frown,
While we wait to receive the crown.

Jesus is the One to know,
When you don't know which way to go.
Our Father with His loving touch,
Provides hope to us so much.

From Him, the One who feeds us,
Through His Son, Jesus,
As He waits for our call,
To Him, we should give our all.

Thank You Jesus for Your word,
So we can share what we've heard,
To encourage those without,
To raise their hands & pour it out,
In a prayer to You, our friend,
Who will be with us, until the end!
