Prayer for Grieving at Christmas

For All Who Worry, Mourn, or Feel Lost at Christmas
Dedicated especially to the Giving Our Grief a Voice group
Delaware women who have lost loved ones to homicide

 

Silent Morn, Holy Morn

Sometimes I wonder

Why I was born.

I wake in the darkness and

can't see the light.

All I want is the end of the night.

Take this grief from me, Lord

Please take this grief from me, Lord.

 

Silent Noon, Holy Noon

All songs I sing,

are out of tune.

I’ve been looking for right words to pray

Nothing I’ve found yet, has shown me the way.

Help me find my voice, Lord

Please, help me find my voice.

 

Silent Day, Holy Day,

All's not calm, on my way.

In my life,

so much does not seem,

to be close to what I once dreamed.

Help me trust in Your Peace, Lord.

Please, help me trust in Your Peace.

 

Silent Night, Holy Night

Finally calm, finally bright

With Your love so vast and yet mild

Now I can rest as I’m also Your child

I found some peace in this night, Lord,

Heaven-sent Peace in this night.
