Chorus Lately I've been praying for a little peace on earth The kind the angels sang about the starry night of Jesus' birth And don't it seem like lately this old world is going wild And we could all sure use a taste of mercy mild So I'm praying for all it's worth for a little peace on earth
Verse It's hard to imagine a silent night in a busy world that never seems to sleep But when I close my eyes and think of Bethlehem's child Then I realize just what we really need
Chorus
Bridge I hear a church bell ringing in the distance And faith wells up in me like a child I bow my head and ask the Lord, "This Christmas Could you help us get along for just awhile"
