My Wish

If I could have my wish today,

The thing I'd like to do

Would be to play as Santa Clause

And bring great joy to you.

I'd like to climb atop your house

And down your chimney creep,

And fill your socks clear to the brim

While you are fast asleep.

I'd leave a ton of happiness,

A pack of sunshine, too,

I'd steal away your troubles

And leave sweet peace with you.

I'd take away the grayness

And leave you skies of blue,

I'd leave with you a courage fine,

To fight life's battles through.

I'd leave you understanding,

A faith, unchanging, true,

A mind to serve Jehovah,

Sweet peace I'd leave with you.
