Love,
Mommy
Merry Christmas by Third Day...
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
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 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 tell you from my heart
I wish you Merry Christmas

i am in love with 3rd day...waht a great share! thanks.
It is my prayer that she will spend next Christmas with all of you, also.
Merry Christmas!
The song doesn't sound as good when I replace "China town" with "El Salvador" and "half a world away" with "really far down south"........ it still makes me want to cry though :)
Love the new blog look. I couldn't listen to that song last year without crying, so I know how hard it must be for you. Who knows, maybe your little girl will be here next Christmas? Hugs~
This song is so beautiful! A friend bought me the CD two years ago when we started our adoption journey, and I still cry every time I hear it playing. This year is especially emotional as our Maia is indeed spending another Christmas in China. I pray that your little one is home by next Christmas!
