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, “I see him in my dreams He comforts me when I can’t sleep” Father of the fatherless Be with your sons and daughters this Christmas This Christmas “Believe in angels?” 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’ ‘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’ ‘til you choose to give Love and joy and peace to one of His) 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’ ‘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’ ‘til 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 yours Merry Christmas This year, reach out and love somebody, y’all
