[Verse 1]
 
C
Every year at Christmas
 F
All I can see
 C
Are pictures of the things I want
 F
Around the tree
          G               F
But this years a little different
          G             F
Im not thinking of myself
        G                 F
So my prayer for this Christmas 
  G
Is for somebody else
 
[Chorus]
 
G
So I pray
C           G
Joy To the World
 Am              F
Peace for every boy and girl
 C               G
Hope when life is hard
  Am             F
Light when everything seems dark
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
God I know youre listening
F
And you can hear
C
The need of every broken heart
F
And all their tears
G                     F
I dont have a lot to offer
G                     F
Just this one simple prayer
G                     F
That this Christmas everyone would know 
G
Somebody cares
 
[Chorus]
 
G
I pray that every hungry soul 
Am
Will be filled and will be warm
G
That not a single solitary child 
       Am     F
Would suffer harm
G
And Lord we find their ending
F
As we take another view
G                      Am
My hope is that this Christmas prayer
        F          G
Would somehow come true
 
[Chorus]
 
[Ending]
 
C           G
Joy To the World
Am              F
Peace for every boy and girl
