My Grown-up Christmas List
These are the words to my favorite Christmas song as performed by Amy Grant on her 1992 Christmas CD, "Home For Christmas". It is also our Christmas wish for each and every one of you. You don't have to be a child to experience the joy, love, mystery, and magic of Christmas. The heart of Christmas is in all of us. Reach out to each other, fill the world with music, spread the love, and pray for peace. Don't regret letting the dance pass you by . . .
I sat upon your knee.
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow.
I'm not a child, but my heart still can dream.
So here's my lifelong wish.
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself but for a world in need.
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts.
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up Christmas List.
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree.
Well Heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts.
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up Christmas List.
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts.
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up Christmas List.
