Silent Night

twas midnight on the night before
but instead of waiting for St Nick
they were waiting to see whose
prayer God would pick
for all were good but fell short of glory
but Christ died for our sins
you know the story
for in times of need 
we pray for  our greed
but at this time of year 
we should pray for good cheer.
