Joy To The World A Christmas Prayer

Intro: C(add2), F(add2) [4 beats per chord]

C                            F
Every year at Christmas, all I can see
    C                              F
Are pictures of the things I want around the tree
         Dm              C/E
But this year's a little different
        F           Am
I'm not thinking of myself
      F
So my prayer for this Christmas
   C/G          G
Is for somebody else

   Gsus G
So I    pray
C          G/C
Joy To the World
Am7             F
Peace for every boy and girl

C                               F
God I know you're listening and you can hear
C                                  F
The need of every broken heart and all their tears
        Dm            C/E
I don't have a lot to offer
          F          Am
Just this one simple prayer
          F
That this Christmas everyone would know
    C/G  G
Somebody cares...


   Gsus G
So I    pray
C          G/C
Joy to the world

Peace for every boy and girl

Hope when life is hard
Am7             F
Light when everything seems dark

  Dm7             C/E
I pray that every hungry soul
        F               C/E
Will be fed and will be warm
           Dm7        C/E
That not a single solitary child
      F
Would suffer harm

Dm7                       C/E
And wars would find their ending
      F            C/E
As we take another view
Dm7                  C/E
My hope is that this Christmas prayer
      F            Gsus G [Gsus, G: 1 beat per chord]
Would somehow come tru--e



Bb  C/Bb
  I pray
  F      Bb      C/Bb

Light when everything seems dark

And Lord, we find their ending
      G            D/F#
As we take another view
