Merry Christmas

                                  There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn

Cyin' for momma's arms

At an orphanage just outside a little China town

Where the forgotten are



But half a world away I hang

The stockings by the fire

And dream about the day

When I can finally call you mine



It's Christmas time again but you're not home

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 tell you from my heart, I wish you a Merry Christmas



As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights

I'm warmed by the fire's glow

Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white

And make angels in the snow



And half a world away you try

Your best to fight the tears

And hope that heaven's angels come

To carry you here



It's Christmas time again but you're not home

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 tell you from my heart, I wish you a Merry Christmas



And Christmas is a time to celebrate the Holy Child

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



It's Christmas time again and now you're home

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 tell you from my heart and I'll tell you from my heart

I wish you a Merry Christmas



We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year



Good tidings we bring

To you and your kin

Good tidings for Christmas

And a Happy New Year



We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year



Good tidings we bring

To you and your kin

Good tidings for Christmas

And a Happy New Year



We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year
