Year: 2006 - Album: Christmas Offerings

Written by Brad Avery/Third Day

	  		
A                                         Esus4              E   D 
There's a little girl trembling on a cold    December morn 
            Esus4       E    
Crying for momma's arms 
          A                     Esus4              E   D 
At an orphanage just outside a little China town 
             Esus4 
There the forgotten are 

E    Bm                               A  
But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire 
      G                              Esus4                 E 
And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine 
      A                                   Bm 
It's Christmas time again but you're not home 
        D                              A  
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone 
    F#m7                                      Bm 
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms 
         A                    D    E                      A 
And I'll tell you from my heart     I wish you Merry Christmas 

A                                         Esus4                     E   D  
As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch    the twinkling lights 
                  Esus4          E    
I'm warmed by the fire's glow and 
    A                                Esus4            E   D  
Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white, 
           Esus4 
Make angels in the snow 

E    Bm                             A  
But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears 
     G                                Esus4           E 
And hope that heaven's angels come to carry you here 

     A                                    Bm 
It's Christmas time again but you're not home 
     D                                  A  
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone 
    F#m7                                      Bm 
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms 
          A                    D   E                       A 
And I'll tell you from my heart    I wish you Merry Christmas 
    G                   D             A 
And Christmas is a time to celebrate the holy child 
            G              D                 A   
And when we celebrate his perfect gift of love 
    G                     D 
He came to earth to give his life 
        Fm 
And prepare a place for us 
   Bm                   G                E 
So we could have a home   with him above 

      A                                   Bm 
It's Christmas time again and now you're home 
     D                            A  
Your family is here so you will never be alone 
     F#m7                                   Bm 
So tonight before you go to sleep I'll hold you in my arms 
         A                   D            A                  D      
And I'll tell you from my heart  and I'll tell you from my heart    
E                    A   
I wish you Merry Christmas
