Joy to the world

Let heaven and nature sing

Let heaven and nature sing

Now Jonnie never got his wish on

December 25

That's what he said when he left

the orphanage 9 years old,

but Jonnie was an old soul

Gonna spend his first Christmas in a real home

Showed me a picture that he drew the night before

Was a picture of a man standin' outside a door

I asked him who it was and he said

someone I only see in dreams

Comforts me when I cry myself to sleep



Father of the fatherless

Be with your sons and daughters

this Christmas This Christmas



Believe in angels? Jonnie asked me starin' at the sky

I said I do and saw a sparkle in his eye

Big brother for the weekend respondin' to the season

Took the chance that givin's better than recievin'

Two nights, a new family, some holiday cheer

We laughed and sang Came on a midnight clear

We gave, recieved, and as we headed to close

We looked to the heavens and it started to snow down blessings



Father of the fatherless

Be with yous sons and daughters

this Christmas

(You ain't livin' 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

(You ain't livin' til you choose to give,

you ain't livin' til You choose to give)



(James 1:27) Religion that God our Father

Accepts as pure and faultless is this

To 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

Let heaven and nature sing



Believe in angels Jonnie asked me starin
