Old man playing Santa Claus Blew into town with old Jack Frost Now he's handing out candy canes and smiles for free People scurry with their lists Rushing around to buy those gifts that will End up wrapped up underneath the tree I'm sitting at this red light looking at a manger scene Watching snowflakes kiss that baby And it makes me think I wonder what God wants for Christmas Something that you can't find in a store Maybe peace on Earth, no more empty seats in church Might be what's on His wishlist I wonder what God wants for Christmas What do you give someone Who gave His only Son What if we believe in Him Like He believes in us I wonder what God wants for Christmas What might put a smile on His face Every Bible with no dust, the devil giving up Might be what's on His wishlist I wonder what God wants for Christmas What kind of gift from you and me More sister, more brother, more lovin' one another Yeah I wonder, I wonder what God wants By now we oughta know what God wants for Christmas
