paroles de chanson This Christmas - tobyMac

Joy to the world
Let heaven and nature sing
Let heaven and nature sing
Now Jonnie never got his wish on
December 25
That's what he said when he left
The orphanage, nine years old

But Jonnie was an old soul
Gonna spend his first Christmas in a real home
Showed me a picture that he drew the night before
Was a picture of a man standing outside a door
I asked him who it was and he said
Someone I only see in dreams
Comforts me when I cry myself to sleep

Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters
This Christmas, this Christmas

Believe in angels?
Jonnie asked me staring at the sky
I said I do and saw a sparkle in his eye
Big brother for the weekend responding to the season
Took the chance that giving's better than receiving
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 close
We looked to the heavens, and it started to snow down blessings

Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters
This Christmas

(You ain't living till you choose to give)
(Love and joy and peace to one of His)
Father, let us not forget
The children who are all alone this Christmas
(You ain't living till you choose to give)
(You ain't living till you choose to give)

(James 1: 27)
Religion that God our Father
Accepts as pure and faultless is this
To 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
Let heaven and nature sing

Believe in angels Jonnie asked me staring at the sky
I said I do and saw a sparkle in his eye
Nine years old, but Jonnie was an old soul
Gonna spend is next Christmas in a real home
