Heavenly Father, strong yet gentle, this Christmas time we'll light a candle and hold our children you have given and think of Jesus and of heaven. We'll ponder of the love You've shown to all your children, young and old. We'll glimpse amazed at loves true meaning come down from heaven with promise beaming. We'll see the strength, the love, the grace. We'll see the burden You watched Him face. We'll see a child who loved His Father, who took the cross to be our Savior. We'll see the love You showed to Him, You conquered death, He rose again. We'll see our child asleep tonight and know your love does reach great heights. Love... unconditional... so... for a while, we'll ponder the cross and see a child.
