What Mama Wants For Christmas

Half way through December
She called her brother
And said, “I thought you’d want to know
I just talked to Mother
When I asked what can we get for you
To put beneath your tree?
I heard a longing in her voice
When she said to me…”

‘All I want for Christmas
Is to hear my children say
Their hearts belong to Jesus
So I can be sure, one of these days
When this life down here is over
And time will be no more
We’ll all be there together
On heaven’s golden shore.’
That’s what Mama wants for Christmas.”

He said, “My dear sister
We could write a letter
But I think we both agree
We can do much better.”
All the miles wouldn’t change their plans
They knew they had to go
They could hear the sound of their Mama’s words
As they headed down the road

‘All I want for Christmas
Is to hear my children say
Their hearts belong to Jesus
So I can be sure, one of these days
When this life down here is over
And time will be no more
We’ll all be there together
On heaven’s golden shore.’
That’s what Mama wants for Christmas.”
