The Wish

The Wish

We all have a Christmas wish

A place to dream or make a list

Of the things that we have waited for all year

But of all the dreams I've ever had

There's none I've wished for quite as bad

As the one I'll tell you now if you will hear

I wish I were the lamb

That night in Bethlehem

That gladly shared the stable and some hay

I wish I were the star that guided from afar

The wise men to the place where Jesus lay

But in a place my feet have never trod

Somewhere in the heart of God

That little babe that seemed without a care

Cared for me and I believe that I was there

If I could travel back in time

To any place I had in mind

I know I'd choose the time of Jesus birth

I'd like to be a witness of

When God the Son came down in love

And the angels sang out peace to men on earth.

I wish I were the lamb

That night in Bethlehem

That gladly shared the stable and some hay

I wish I were the star that guided from afar

The wise men to the place where Jesus lay

But in a place my feet have never trod

Somewhere in the heart of God

That little babe that seemed without a care

Cared for me and I believe that I was there
