If I had one Christmas wish

If I had one Christmas wish, A wish I knew would come true; One that would be granted me, What would I then wish for you? Oh, I could wish for money, Maybe material things; Or, time for you to relax, Before the next doorbell rings. I could wish you nice weather, To enjoy a few days outside; Or, I could wish you a snowfall, So you could snuggle inside. I could wish you a family visit, Or, just some time to be alone; A time of deep reflection, Of a time that’s long since gone. If God would grant me one wish, And told me it would come true; After thinking long and hard, Here’s what I would wish for you: I would wish for you to receive, Christmas’ true celebration; The gift of God’s only Son, Who brings to us salvation. That would be my Christmas wish, If I had one wish to give; For you to know God’s mercy, And then eternally live.
