There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn
Crying for momma's arms
At an orphanage just outside a little China town
There 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
And 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,
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
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
And 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
Christmas is a time to 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 I'll tell you from my heart, and I'll you from my heart
I wish you Merry Christmas
That brings the tears to the forefront doesn't it!???

ReplyDeleteHi Renae~
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by our blog. I've been hesitant to write b/c I want what I write to be purposeful. I tend to process verbally, so sometimes our blog is a way for me to do that.
Wow. I have never heard this song. Sure does speak directly to this momma's heart.
I just glanced up at your playlist and saw that you have "While I'm waiting" as one of your songs. This was the song going through my head as I was writing my post.
Just remember, you are not alone. One of the families in our agency is most likely traveling on Jan. 17, too. We are SO SO very ready to go get our babes.
Blessings~Angie
Good luck with everything. Have 2 girls from Bulgaria, one from Guatemala, and now going to Ethiopia for 2 boys. What orphanage are you going to? Ours are from Targovishte with Dr. Pencova. Congratulations and have fun!!!
