Santa's Prayer On Christmas Eve

The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed,

But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed.

"Dear Father," he prayed

"Be with me tonight.

There's much work to do

and my schedule is tight.

I must jump in my sleigh and

streak through the sky,

Knowing full well that

a reindeer can't fly.

I will visit each household

before the first light,

I'll cover the world and

all in one night.

With sleigh bells a-ringing,

I'll land on each roof,

Amid the soft clatter

of each little hoof.

To get in the house is

the difficult part,

So I'll slide down the chimney

of each child's heart.

My sack will hold toys to

grant all their wishes.

The supply will be endless like

the loaves and the fishes.

I will fill all the stockings and

not leave a track.

I'll eat every cookie that

is left for my snack.

I can do all these things Lord,

only through You,

I just need your blessing,

then it's easy to do.

All this is to honor the birth of the One,

That was sent to redeem us, Your most Holy Son.

So to all of my friends,

least Your glory I rob,

Please Lord, remind them

who gave me this job."
