Now Jonnie never got his wish December 25th
|
That's what he said when we left the orphanage
|
Nine years old, but Jonnie was an old soul
|
Gonna spend his first Christmas in a real home
|
Then he showed me a picture he made the night before
|
A drawing of a man standin' outside the door
|
He said, a¢æ©«I see him in my dreams
|
He comforts me when I can't sleepa¢æ?
|
|
Father of the fatherless
|
Be with your sons and daughters this Christmas
|
This Christmas
|
|
a¢æ©«Believe in angels?a¢æ?
|
He asked starin' at the sky
|
I said I do and saw a sparkle in his eye
|
Big brother for the weekend, respondin' to the season
|
I took the chance that givin's better than receivin'
|
Two nights, a new family, some holiday cheer
|
We laughed and sang
|
Came on a midnight clear
|
We gave, received, and as we headed to a close
|
We looked to the heavens, and it started snowing blessings
|
|
Father of the fatherless
|
Be with your sons and daughters this Christmas, this Christmas
|
(You ain't livin' a¢æ?til you choose to give
|
Love and joy and peace to one of His)
|
Father let us not forget
|
The children who are all alone this Christmas, this Christmas
|
(You ain't livin' a¢æ?til you choose to give
|
Love and joy and peace to one of His)
|
|
[James 1:27]
|
Religion that God our Father
|
Accepts as pure and faultless is this:
|
That we look after orphans and widows in their distress
|
Merry Christmas everyone
|
|
Joy to the world
|
The Lord is come
|
Let Heaven and nature sing
|
Let Heaven and nature sing
|
Let Heaven and nature sing
|
|
Big brother turned dad in a couple weeks
|
Some gifts give more than you could ever dream
|
Started out as a plan just to do my part,
|
But that little man went and stole my heart
|
|
Father of the fatherless
|
Be with your sons and daughters this Christmas, this Christmas
|
(You ain't livin' a¢æ?til you choose to give
|
Love and joy and peace to one of His)
|
Father let us not forget
|
The children who are all alone this Christmas, this Christmas
|
(You ain't livin' a¢æ?til you choose to give
|
Love and joy and peace to one of His)
|
|
Let Heaven and nature sing
|
Let Heaven and nature sing
|
[x2]
|
|
From me and mine, to you and yoursa¢æ|
|
Merry Christmas
|
This year, reach out and love somebody, y'all
