By Christmas day - Israel Houghton Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ Another year has passed, [Ab] life just grows too fast
[Gm] Where will I find time to live [Bb] my dreams?
_ [B] There's so much left of me [Db] to be
_ [Ab] _ Expedited and bring to life those things [G] I need
Hear [Bb] my prayer, _ my request
[C] Oh Lord, this is [Fm] my remedy
[Abm] Heart's desire for what I [Eb] believe in, see _
[F] God's letting me [Abm] be, [Eb] if you don't mind
[Fm] Could it be my [Eb] life like Christmas [Cm] day?
[A] Hear what I say, [Abm] what I pray
[Eb] Not a time, [C] just [F] let it be my [Ab] Christmas [Eb] _ day _
_ _ _ [Gm] My time to save the world, [Ab] I have one [Gm] more to give
I simply [Bb] take enough of time to [G] hear
_ [B] What good it [Bbm] hurts to have to dry a tear
[Cm] Or letting one lonely heart [G] know I care
[Bb] Hear my prayer, [Eb] my _
[Db] request
[C] Oh, this is [Fm] my remedy
Earnest plea, [Abm] heart's desire
[F] For what I believe, what I believe to [A] see
God's letting [F] me [Eb] be, if you don't mind
[Gm] I don't [Fm] mind, _ [Eb] my Christmas day
Hear what I say, hear [Cm] what [Abm] I say
[Eb] Not a time, _ [C] just [F] let it be my Christmas [Eb] day _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [F] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ Hear my prayer, [Eb] my _
[Db] request
Oh, this is [Fm] my earnest plea
[Abm] Heart's desire for what [Eb] I believe to see
[Cm] God's letting me be, [F] if [Eb] you don't mind
[Fm] Could it be my _ [Eb] Christmas day?
Hear what I [Cm] say, hear what I [Abm] say
Not [Eb] a time, _ just [F] let it be my _ [Eb] Christmas day _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] Let [Ab] it be my [Eb] _ Christmas day
[Cm] _ _
[G] Let it be [Abm] my, let it be my, [Eb] let it be my
[Cm] _
[F] Let it be my [Ab] Christmas [Eb] day
