Third Day - Merry Christmas lyrics

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 the 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 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 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 (empty space -- hidden track) We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year! We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year! We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year
