This Christmas (Father of the Fatherless) - TobyMac
Intro: Nirva Ready
Oh oh oh oh o-oh
Oh oh oh oh o-oh
Oh oh oh oh o-oh
Verse 1: TobyMac
Now Jonnie never got his wish December 25th
That's what he said when we left the orphanage
Nine years old but Jonnie was an old soul
Gonna spend his first Christmas in a real home
Then he showed me a picture he made the night before
A drawing of a man standin' outside the door
He said, "I see him in my dreams
He comforts me when I can't sleep"
Chorus: Nirva Ready
Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters
This Christmas, this Christmas
Verse 2: TobyMac & Nirva Ready, Together
"Believe in angels?" he asked starin' at the sky (Yeah)
I said, "I do," and saw a sparkle in his eye
Big brother for the weekend, respondin' to the season
I took the chance that givin's better than receivin'
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 a close
We looked to the heavens and it started snowing blessings (Hey!)
Chorus: Nirva Ready & TobyMac
Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters
This Christmas, this Christmas
You ain't lovin' 'til you choose to give
The love and joy and peace to one of His
Father, let us not forget
The children who are all alone
This Christmas, this Christmas
You ain't lovin' 'til you choose to give
The love and joy and peace to one of His
Interlude: Moses, Marlee, Leo and Judah McKeehan
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
That we look after orphans and widows in their distress
Merry Christmas, everyone
Bridge: Nirva Ready
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing
Verse 3: TobyMac & Nirva Ready, Together
Big brother turned dad in a couple weeks
Some gifts give more than you could ever dream
Started out as a plan just to do my part
But that little man went and stole my heart (Oh!)
Chorus: Nirva Ready & TobyMac
Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters
This Christmas, this Christmas
You ain't lovin' 'til you choose to give
The love and joy and peace to one of His
And, Father, let us not forget
The children who are all alone
This Christmas, this Christmas
You ain't lovin' 'til you choose to give
You ain't lovin' 'til you, you ain't lovin' 'til you
Post Chorus: Nirva Ready & TobyMac, Together
Oh oh oh oh o-oh (Ayy!)
Oh oh oh oh o-oh
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing (Oh, Father)
Oh oh oh oh o-oh (Ayy!)
Oh oh oh oh o-oh
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing (Ooh)
Outro: tobyMac & Nirva Ready
From me and mine, to you and yours
Merry Christmas
This year, reach out and love somebody, y'all (Yeah, ooh)
