The Christmas Prayer
Her smile so sweet, laughter so complete,
The love shined so bright for her baby girl,
If only he knew Christmas was for him.
Two Christmases from the mouth of babes,
Everyday is Christmas to celebrate Him,
If only he knew Christmas was for him.
Window shades opened to the world,
Black and white guard dog protecting him,
If only he knew Christmas was for him.
He heard some others in the next room,
Shave today and every day? Once or twice a day,
If only he knew Christmas was for him.
The Christmas tree blinked white and color lights,
Gifts shouted, "Open me!" babbling constantly,
If only he knew Christmas was for him.
Her voice the key to his happiness, how sad,
His door to be ever closed, Satan said,
If only he knew Christmas was for him.
His Christmas prayer never to be for him,
Peace on earth for all mankind but him,
If only he knew Christmas was for him.
He felt a spirit above the tree, a blazing star,
The nails and blood were for him, too,
If only he knew Christmas was for him.
That voice the key to Him and happiness,
With His spirit she spoke from her heart,
If only he knew Christmas was for him.
