Orphan Child

[Verse One]
It was a stained glass window of St. Paul
The light came softly through
And fell on the face of the orphan child
Weeping in the pew

[Verse Two]
She raised her eyes above the altar to the cross
The two Marys were whispering her name
But how was she to hear their voices
Feeling so unworthy and ashamed?

[Chorus]
Orphan child, You didn’t have to be so all alone
Orphan child, I pray someday you find your way home

[Verse Three]
She was standing by the shoreline of the lake
Two fishermen were pulling in their boat
The cold winter wind and the orphan child
Shivering without a coat

[Verse Four]
The disciples placed a blanket ‘round her shoulders;
She shook it off, it fell into the dirt
Across the lake the wounded raven cried
For souls who never quench their thirst
