Sangtekst: Steve Wariner. This Christmas Prayer.

Christmas, what a wonderful time of year
But it can also be a dark and lonely time
And if you don't spend it with those you truly love
Well, it can feel just like any other day
So this is a prayer for the lonely
Especially those children all around the world
Whose hearts have been torn apart this year

So pardon my tears, things are different this year
There's a cry I can't ignore
I've thrown out my list and instead of a wish
I'm praying this Christmas prayer
That wherever you are may the bright morning star
Lead you to someone who cares

Well, Jimmy Stewart's on my screen again
Man, I miss those simple black and white days
Then someone hits the remote and I see the sad dark eyes
Of a young girl on the other side of the world
And I think about the things she's had to see
Things my children can't even imagine

So pardon my tears, things are different this year
There's a cry I can't ignore
I've thrown out my list and instead of a wish
I'm praying this Christmas prayer
That whoever you are know that God's shining star
Leads you to someone who cares

So whoever you are know that God's shining star
Always leads you to someone who cares
