TobyMac - This Christmas (Father of the Fatherless) lyrics

Oh oh oh oh o oh oh oh oh oh o oh
Oh oh oh oh o oh

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 (yeah)
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 (Hey)

Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters
This Christmas, this Christmas
You ain't lovin' 'til you choose to give
The 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 lovin' 'til you choose to give
The 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
(Oh)

Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters
This Christmas, this Christmas
You ain't lovin' 'til you choose to give
The love and joy and peace to one of His
And, Father, let us not forget
The children who are all alone
This Christmas, this Christmas
You ain't lovin' 'til you choose to give
You ain't lovin' 'til you
You ain't lovin' 'til you

Oh oh oh oh o oh (Ayy) oh oh oh oh o oh
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing (Oh, Father)
Oh oh oh oh o oh (Ayy) oh oh oh oh o oh
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing (O oh)

From me and mine, to you and yours
Merry Christmas
This year, reach out and love somebody, y'all
(yeah, ooh)
