Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)

Every year at Christmas All I can see Are pictures of the things I want Around the tree But this year's a little different I'm not thinking of myself So my prayer for this Christmas Is for somebody else So I pray... Joy To the World Peace for every boy and girl Hope when life is hard Light when everything seems dark God I know you're listening And you can hear The need of every broken heart And all their tears I don't have a lot to offer Just this one simple prayer That this Christmas everyone would know Somebody cares... So I pray... Joy To the World Peace for every boy and girl Hope when life is hard Light when everything seems dark I pray that every hungry soul Will be filled and will be warm That not a single, solitary child Would suffer harm And Lord we find their ending As we take another view My hope is that this Christmas prayer Would somehow come true I pray... Humanity would rise And join with me And together we'll sing Joy To the World (To all the world) Peace (Peace) for every boy and girl (for every boy and girl) (Talking bout hope) Hope when life is hard (when life is hard) Light when everything seems dark I pray that (I pray) every hungry soul Will be filled and will be warm (Not a single child) That not a single, solitary child Would suffer harm And Lord we find their ending As we take another view My hope is that this Christmas prayer Would somehow come true... Joy To the World Peace for every boy and girl
