[A] This next song we're going to do is entitled [Bm] I'm No Longer an Orphan.
I wrote this song back [A] probably about six years ago.
My oldest daughter adopted a little [F#] girl from _ Kazakhstan, a former Russia state.
She and my son-in-law, and they [C#] prepared for a year to bring that [A] little, she was 11 years
old when she came here.
[Em] _ And [E] I wrote a song, I got a song [Bm] about just [A] the procedure of bringing her to America.
You think of a little girl, [E] 11 years old, [B] _
in an orphanage, _ and no mother.
Her mother had died, and [A#] no record [A] of a daddy.
[E] She knew nothing about her daddy.
And her [Bm] grandmother had her, and she gave her up for adoption, didn't want her.
The last verse of this song [A#] says, I came so empty-handed.
I thought [B] about that [F#] because she had to go, she had a day [Em] in court.
And [B] after the court date, my son [G]-in-law took her back to the [Bm] orphanage to get her things.
And when you think about things, [A] you think about clothes, and you know.
And that little girl came out of that orphanage with her things, but it was just a little
paper [N] bag with just some little pins and things like that in it.
It says, I came so empty-handed, no place to call my home.
No one to really love me, _ but [Bm] now look what I own.
[D] And I wrote this song about that little girl.
[C#m] She's 18 years old now, and _ [F#] she's doing her [E] internship, and she's working at orphanages in Honduras.
Isn't that something?
And how the Lord prepares us for the future, [A] you know, we might not understand [G#m] it now,
but [C#] He knows, He sees the long picture.
[E] And that's what this song's about.
Sometimes songs make a little more sense [F#m] when you know where they [G] came from and the heart
they came from.
[A#m]
[D] Jeff's going to sing it right now.
[A] No, I won't. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Once my clothes were ragged, _ the world [E] _
owned [A] me.
And I had no hope for tomorrow or _ _ [E] _
_ [A] eternity.
_ And then grace _ came with mercy and heard this orphan's plea.
And now I've been adopted, _ from bondage I've been set free.
And now I'm no longer an orphan, someone has rescued me.
My garments no longer are tattered, my family is [E] _ [A] royalty.
_ _ _ Mama.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yes?
I _ _ _ came so empty-handed, had no [Bm] place to call [A] my home, had no one to really love me.
Oh, but now [B] look what [A] I owe.
_ I'm feasting on the manna that comes [E] from God [A] on high.
_ And there is no shortage, _ there is [E] a vast [A] supply. _ _ _ _ _
An orphan, _ someone has rescued me.
_ My garments no longer are tattered, my family is royalty.
And now I'm no longer an orphan, someone [E] has rescued [A] _ me.
My garments no longer are tattered, my family [E] is [Em] [A] royalty. _ _ _ _ _ _
