Prayer for a Christmas Eve

words & music by Melissa Kate Miller

Piano arrangement by Walter Kemp III

 

I have always loved a Christmas Song
playing in the stores all season long
but for me the season's not complete
til I find that moment Christmas eve

When the northern star alights the sky
all our loved ones dreaming deep nearby
I descend the stair
light the Christmas tree
say a little prayer and drift in reverie

In the solitude of silent eve
knowing all our gifts have been received
quiet little joys
lost in daylight noise
spirit me as high as snow caught upon the breeze

in days of old and seasons past I feel connected here at last
to what has come and what must go and so

have yourself a merry holiday
whether you are near or far away
as the silver snow blankets all the land
may there fall a peace and love in man

may this Christmas prayer be yours to sing
may you know the joy the season brings
