Christmas Wants - Hank Snow[00:00:00]

What do you want for Christmas[00:00:18]

Ah the truth the answer to no other questions[00:00:21]

So complete serves as an index of[00:00:24]

What we are at heart[00:00:27]

At other times of the year[00:00:29]

We can pretend and make believe[00:00:31]

But at Christmas time our true nature reveals itself[00:00:34]

And we act from the hidden motives[00:00:38]

That dominate our lives[00:00:40]

Come with me this Yule tide[00:00:43]

And let the heart express those wishes[00:00:46]

It has ever longed for but never dared express[00:00:48]

What is it we want[00:00:52]

I want a few sincere friends[00:00:55]

Who understand my loneliness[00:00:57]

Yet remind loyal when I am silent[00:00:59]

I want a growing capacity to understand[00:01:03]

And respond to the unuttered sufferings of others[00:01:06]

Knowing that they fight as hard a battle[00:01:09]

Against many odds even as I[00:01:12]

I want a sense of duty tempered with beauty[00:01:16]

A conception of work as a privilege[00:01:20]

And urge to justice mainly with mercy[00:01:23]

And a feeling that responsibility is my debt[00:01:26]

For the opportunity of living in a day[00:01:29]

When great aims are at stake[00:01:32]

I want a task to do which has abiding value[00:01:35]

Without which the lives of many would be poorer[00:01:39]

And the good I might do be eternally lost[00:01:43]

I want a sense of humor and the genius to laugh[00:01:47]

The grace to forgive and the humility to be forgiven[00:01:51]

The willingness to praise[00:01:56]

And the freedom to enjoy a little[00:01:59]

Leisure with tantalizing dreams[00:02:00]

I want a glimpse of kneeling[00:02:05]

Hillsides the unresting sea[00:02:06]

The horizon and chanting plains[00:02:10]

And the thrill of a few high tangled[00:02:13]

Bird notes keenly thinned[00:02:16]

I want a few wistful moments of quiet[00:02:20]

Amid the garish noises and fevered fret of the day[00:02:23]

And when twlight flecks the[00:02:27]

Even tide with spotted shadows[00:02:28]

A sense of the presence of God[00:02:32]
