Autumn leaves are gone
And winter's cold won't be so long
Then the world will stop, for once
And lift its voice in Christmas song
A joyful song for One
An ancient life that's just begun
One who gave it all for love
A gracious Father gives His Son
And I think about if I were there
I don't have frankincense or myrrh
Or wine that's fit for a King's table
If I had the chance to kneel before Your cradle
Whatever would I bring?
Emmanuel is here
Though soon death's shadow will appear
For one Man dying on a hill
Holy victory is near
All the things my hands have brought me
Pale beside this gift of mercy
My earthly gain I count as loss
If I had the chance to kneel before Your cross
Whatever would I bring?
Now looking forward to
A place where I can be with You
To glory beyond former times
Jerusalem shall be renewed
What do I have that can compare
To all the treasure waiting there?
I don't have gold or precious stones
When I have the chance to kneel before Your throne
Whatever will I bring?
