Merry Christmas!

In case I don't get to it before the 25th, we want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas…Words by Brad Avery, Music by Third Day

There’s a little girl trembling on a cold December morn,

crying for mama’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 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.
But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears,

and hope that Heaven’s Angels come to carry you here.

Christmas is the time we celebrate the Holy Child,

and we celebrate His perfect gift of love.

He came to Earth 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…

...I’ll tell you from my heart…

I wish you Merry Christmas.
