Four Stockings

I've wanted to post this song for a long time, but I can't figure out how to do it (due to my apparent lack of tehnological know-how). There are alot of places online where you can go to listen to it. This song makes me want to cry everytime I hear it, but it definately hits home this year.

Merry Christmas
by Third Day

There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn
Cryin' for Momma'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.

And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in His arms.

And tell you from my heart: I wish you a 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.

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 a Merry Christmas.

Christmas is the 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 tell you from my heart, "I wish you a Merry Christmas."
