Christmas Poem

Evasia's Poem she wrote during Cafe Fuego this past Saturday 12/20/08!

Christmas Morning

I can hear the angels singing

A chorus that has my name

Of one who has been forgiven

Free from all my guilt and shame.

In the darkness where I was hidden

A light shone there so bright

It reminded me of Christmas

On the night of Jesus’ light.

He reached down there from heaven

In the most unlikely place

To touch and heal the forgotten

And show us His love and grace.

My heart longs for His presence

That void within my soul

He gives meaning to my existence

And guides me to the goal.

And on that Christmas morning

I see a tree there with Him

I feel I have nothing there to offer

To one who has all power there within.

My head hangs low in silence

And the tears roll gently down

I feel lost and so unworthy

Yet He echoes another sound.

“Open your eyes,” He gently whispers

Under the tree He has a present there from me

Tear stained and yet so tattered

But His excitement you can see.

I know what you have offered

And the value you do not see

But it’s the best gift you could offer

All of you freely given now to Me.
