[Verse 1]
I wonder if this Christmas
They'll begin to understand
The Jesus that they celebrate
Is much more than a man
'Cause the way the world is, I don't see
How people can deny
The only way to save us
Was for Jesus Christ to die

[Chorus]
And I know that, if St. Nicholas was here, he would agree
That Jesus gave the greatest gift of all to you and me
They led him to the slaughter on a hill called Calvary
And mankind was forgiven when they nailed him to the tree

[Verse 2]
But most of all, the children
They're the ones I hope will learn
That Jesus is our savior
And he's going to return
And Christmas isn't just a day
And all days aren't the same
Perhaps they'll think about the word
And see it spells his name
[Chorus]
And I know that, if St. Nicholas was here, he would agree
That Jesus gave the greatest gift of all to you and me
They led him to the slaughter on a hill called Calvary
Oh, and mankind was forgiven
Mankind was forgiven
We were all forgiven when they nailed him to the tree

[Outro]
So merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I wonder if this Christmas
They'll begin to understand
