"The Gift We Need"

Written by Jeff Catto, Chris Bray

 

VERSE:

What we want for Christmas

Aren’t toys or diamond rings 

Not envelopes of empty cards

Or dolls that really sing

 

PRECHORUS:

What we really need

 

CHORUS:

Is church bells ringing

Choirs singing

Bowing down before the throne of a manger baby king and we need

Peace on earth

The Word now birthed

Jesus Christ has come to set us free

That’s all the gift we need 

 

VERSE 2:

What we want for Christmas

Isn’t tech that just gets old

Not matching socks or lego blocks 

Or watch made out of gold

 

BRIDGE:

Help me spread the joy

Feed the poor

Bring together all the ones forgotten and alone

Share the fathers love

And Jesus Christ His Son

This is what the world really needs

 

ENDING:

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year!
