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.
Ann Weems
Oh Gracious and Loving God,
Revive us and transform us this season as you transformed the world through our Savior's birth in Bethlehem.
