This Christmas (Father Of The Fatherless)
Toby Mac
Now Jonnie never got his wish December 25thThat's what he said when we left the orphanageNine years old, but Jonnie was an old soulGonna spend his first Christmas in a real homeThen he showed me a picture he made the night beforeA drawing of a man standin' outside the doorHe said, I see him in my dreamsHe comforts me when I can't sleepFather of the fatherlessBe with your sons and daughters this ChristmasThis ChristmasBelieve in angels?He asked starin' at the skyI said I do and saw a sparkle in his eyeBig brother for the weekend, respondin' to the seasonI took the chance that givin's better than receivin'Two nights, a new family, some holiday cheerWe laughed and sangCame on a midnight clearWe gave, received, and as we headed to a closeWe looked to the heavens, and it started snowing blessingsFather of the fatherlessBe with your sons and daughters this Christmas, this Christmas(You ain't livin' 'til you choose to giveLove and joy and peace to one of His)Father let us not forgetThe children who are all alone this Christmas, this Christmas(You ain't livin' 'til you choose to giveLove and joy and peace to one of His)Religion that God our FatherAccepts as pure and faultless is this:That we look after orphans and widows in their distressMerry Christmas everyoneJoy to the worldThe Lord is comeLet Heaven and nature singLet Heaven and nature singLet Heaven and nature singBig brother turned dad in a couple weeksSome gifts give more than you could ever dreamStarted out as a plan just to do my part,But that little man went and stole my heartFather of the fatherlessBe with your sons and daughters this Christmas, this Christmas(You ain't livin' 'til you choose to giveLove and joy and peace to one of His)Father let us not forgetThe children who are all alone this Christmas, this Christmas(You ain't livin' 'til you choose to giveLove and joy and peace to one of His)Let Heaven and nature singLet Heaven and nature singFrom me and mine, to you and yoursMerry ChristmasThis year, reach out and love somebody, y'all
