Like the Wonder of Christmas Morning – v3


To receive the kingdom
like a little child, in wonder
we must remember that feeling
of newness, of delight
We must shed our history
what we know in this life
pulling back our memories
to moments of wonder and light

Like the wonder of Christmas morning
presents under the tree
with awe and amazement
glimmering in the tree’s lights
Wide-eyed wonder, joy
in gifts wrapped for us
receiving them with blessings
of hope of what’s inside

Open to God’s call
Christ’s mark upon our lives
heeding the Spirit’s whisper
God’s still small voice
All our senses open
as a child amazed
God’s love revealing
Christ risen from the grave.
