*feat. Nirva Ready*
Now Jonnie never got his wish December 25th
Thatâs 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 standinâ outside the door
He said, âI see him in my dreams
He comforts me when I canât sleepâ
Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters this Christmas
This Christmas
âBelieve in angels?â
He asked starinâ at the sky
I said I do and saw a sparkle in his eye
Big brother for the weekend, respondinâ to the season
I took the chance that givinâs better than receivinâ
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 ainât livinâ âtil 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 ainât livinâ âtil 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 ainât livinâ âtil 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 ainât livinâ âtil you choose to give
Love and joy and peace to one of His)
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing
From me and mine, to you and yoursâ¦
Merry Christmas
This year, reach out and love somebody, yâall
