Let there be peace
Peace to every nation
Let there be hope
For all the world to see
Let there be love
And joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth
For you and me

If I had one wish
On that Christmas list
It wouldn't be for presents under my tree
There'd be no more tears for cryin'
No more wars for fightin'
And every mother's child would have enough to eat

So when I get down on my knees to pray
I ask the Lord above to light the way

And let there be peace (peace)
Peace to every nation
Let there be hope (hope)
For all the world to see
Let there be love (love)
And joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth
For you and me, yeah

When I look in the mirror
All I wanna see
Is true compassion looking back at me
I wanna, I wanna love my neighbor
And be the hands and feet of Jesus
Take his love to the least of these

All I'm asking is to be the change
When I get down on my knees I say

Let there be peace (peace)
Peace to every nation
Let there be hope (hope)
For all the world to see
Let there be love (love)
And joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth
For you and me

Let there be peace (peace)
Let there be love (love)
Let there be joy (joy)
For you and me
Let there be peace (peace)
Let there be love (love)
Let there be joy (joy)
For you and me
For you and me
Oh, oh, oh

Let there be peace (peace)
Peace to every nation
Let there be hope (hope)
For all the world to see
Let there be love (love)
And joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth
For you and me
Yeah (peace, peace to every nation)

Let there be hope (hope)
For all the world to see
Let there be love (love)
And joy to all the children
Let there be peace on earth
For you and me

Yeah (peace on earth)
For you and me
Let there be peace on earth
For you and me
