What Do I Want for Christmas?
What do I want for Christmas?
I want to kneel in Bethlehem,
The air thick with alleluias,
the angels singing
that God is born among us.
In the light of the Star,
I want to see them come,
the wise ones and the humble.
I want to see them come
bearing whatever they treasure
to lay at the feet of him who gives his life.
What do I want for Christmas?
To see in the stable
the whole world kneeling in thanks
For a promise kept:
new life.
For in his nativity
We find ours.
