Are You Ready?
Are you ready for Christmas?
What does this mean?
Am I ready with presents
or decorations to be seen?
Am I ready to cook
all the food and the sweets?
Am I ready to host
my dear friends and family?
What exactly, are you asking of me?
I’m never ever truly ready
to share and to serve
I could buy all the gifts and still
never be absolutely sure—
will everyone be satisfied
will they love what they get?—
so here’s what I think you really meant…
I’m ready to celebrate the spirit of Christmas
to love all it is (even Santa!)
I’ve made room in my heart
there’s a space in my soul
inviting in Jesus, the One all this is for.
Yes, I’m ready for Jesus
and I pray one thing more
you, too, will be ready
Jesus Christ our Savior to adore.
