Merry Christmas, by Third Day Band There’s a little girl trembling on a cold December morn, It’s Christmas time again but you’re not home, As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights, It’s Christmas time again but you’re not home, Christmas is a time we celebrate the Holy Child, It’s Christmas time again and now you’re home,
Crying for Mama’s arms,
At an orphanage just outside a little China town,
With a forgotten heart,
But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire,
And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine.
Your family is here and yet you’re somewhere else alone,
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in His arms,
And I’ll tell you from my heart, I wish you Merry Christmas.
I’m warmed by the fire’s glow,
And outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white,
Make angels in the snow.
But half a world away you try the best to fight your tears,
And hope that heaven’s angels come to carry you here.
Your family is here and yet you’re somewhere else alone,
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in His arms,
And I’ll tell you from my heart, I wish you Merry Christmas.
And we celebrate His perfect gift of Love,
He came to us to give His life and prepare a place for us,
So we could have a home with Him above.
Your family is here so you will never be alone,
So tonight before you go to sleep I’ll hold you in my arms,
And I’ll tell you from my heart,
I’ll tell you from my heart, I wish you Merry Christmas.
