One Wish




If I had one wish
It would be to make every Christmas dream come true
So, Lord, I’d like to talk to you.
Little Jasmine wants a new pair of shoes,
But if she had to choose,
She’d rather have a place to sleep.
She knows her Mother is tired of staying on the street.

Little Tyler’s gift cannot be wrapped
All he wants is to have his father back.
Every time Nicholas goes to church,
He prays that one day there will be peace on earth.
There are so many soldiers fighting in Iraq
Their families just want them to come back.
All over the world
There are little boys and girls
With needs such as these,
So, Lord, please
Bless them tonight
As they make a wish and turn out the light.

Lord remember those who have no home.
I hate to see them spend Christmas alone.
I come on their behalf
Knowing you can bring miracles to pass.

Lord, we know you are there.
We know how much you care.
So, we come asking you
To do whatever you can do.
Lord, we are counting on you
To make our Christmas dreams come true.

All over the world
There are little boys and girls
With tiny hands clasped
Innocently they ask
Not knowing what they ask
Will be no small task
Lord, I come on their behalf.
If I had just one wish 
It would be to make every Christmas wish come true.
