(Melanie Writes:)
I have been looking for the last two years to find this song! I heard it two years ago (December) on WCIC 100.5 fm and absolutely fell in love with it! Knowing for sure I'd hear it again, I didn't try to figure out who it was by. Then I realized that Christmas was over and I hadn't heard it again. Since then I've been trying to remember some of the words so that I could do a search for it. Finally a few weeks ago, I must have remembered just the right words because I found it! It is by a Christian band entitled Third Day and it is on their Christmas Offerings album. The song is entitled Merry Christmas. It puts into words how we feel especially during the Christmas season. If you have a moment to watch the video and listen to the song, I highly recommend it! Otherwise the lyrics are written out below. I also have this song on our Playlist on the bottom left of this web page. Enjoy!
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
There 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 you from my heartI wish you Merry Christmas

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song! We so enjoyed meeting you tonight at the LSSI dinner and hearing about your adoption journey. God is so good and every good and perfect gift comes from Him!
Blessings, Jena and Scott
Melanie,
What beautiful words (I'm reading it from work so I couldn't hear the song :), they brought tears to my eyes. Have a Merry Christmas and think how wonderful next years will be, sharing with your child(ren).
In God I Trust,
Debbie
Thank you for finding and posting this song. Good luck (and have patience) waiting for your referral. We leave in a week to go to Poland and meet the little girl referred to us. So the song is especially appropriate. I'm going to try to download it to my ipod for the trip.
