[Intro: Nirva Ready]
Mmm-hmm-mmm
Joy to the world
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature…
[Verse 1: TobyMac, Nirva Ready, TobyMac & Nirva Ready]
Now Jonnie's never got his wish on December 25th (Mmm-hmm)
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 (In a real home)
Showed me a picture that he drew the night before
Was a picture of a man standin' outside a door
He said, "I see him in my dreams
He comforts me when I can't sleep" (Mmm-mmm-mmm-hmm)
[Chorus 1: Nirva Ready]
Father of the fatherless
Be with your sons and daughters
This Christmas
This Christmas
[Verse 2: TobyMac, Nirva Ready, TobyMac & Nirva Ready]
"Believe in angels?" Jonnie asked me starin' at the sky (At the sky)
I said, "I do," I saw a sparkle in his eye (In his eye)
Big brother for the weekend, respondin' to the season
Took the chance that givin's better than receivin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Two nights, a new family, some holiday cheer (Holiday cheer)
We laughed and sang, came on a midnight clear (Came on a midnight clear)
We gave, received, and as we headed to a close
We looked to the Heavens and it started to snow down blessings
Mmm-hmm-mmm
Joy to the world
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature…
