Joy to the World

(C)Ev'ry year at Christmas, all (F)I can see are (C)pictures of the things I want (F)around the tree.

But this (Dm)year's a little diff'rent;

I'm not (F)thinking of myself.

So my prayer for this Christmas is (C)for somebody (G)else.

So (Gsus)I (G)pray (C)joy to the (G)world,

(Am7)peace for ev'ry (F)boy and girl.

(C)God, I know You're list'ning, and (F)You can hear the (C)need of ev'ry broken heart and (F)all their tears.

I don't (Dm7)have a lot to offer,

just this (F)one simple prayer, that this Christmas,

ev'ryone would know (C)somebody (G)cares.

So (Gsus)I (G)pray (C)joy to the (G)world,

(Am7)peace for ev'ry (F)boy and girl,

(C)hope when life is (G)hard,

(Am7)light when (F)ev'rything seems dark.

I (Dm7)pray that ev'ry hungry soul will be (F)fed and will be warm,

that not a (Dm7)single solitary child would (F)suffer harm.

And (Dm7)Lord, we find their ending as we (F)take another view.

My (Dm7)hope is that this Christmas prayer would (F)somehow come (Gsus)(Bb)true.

I (C)pray (F)humanity

(Bb)would (C)rise and (G)join (A)with me,

and (G)(A)together (G)we'll (A)sing.

Whoa, whoa, (D)joy to the (A)world,

(Bm7)peace (D)for ev'ry (G)boy and girl.

Talkin' 'bout (D)hope when life is (A)hard,

(Bm7)light (D)when (G)ev'rything seems dark.

I (Em7)pray that ev'ry hungry soul will be (G)fed and will be warm,

and not a (Em7)single solitary child would (G)suffer harm.

And (Em7)Lord, we find their ending as we (G)take another view.

So now my (Em7)hope is that this Christmas prayer would (G)somehow come (A)true.

(D)Joy to the (A)world,

(Bm)peace for ev'ry (G)boy and girl.
