CAPO 1
VERSE 1
[G]I am an orphan, on Godās [D]highway
But Iāll share my [G]troubles, if you go [C]my way
I have no [G]mother, no [D]father, no [G]sister, no [C]brother
[G]I am an o[D]rphan g[G]irl
VERSE 2
I have had friendships, pure and golden
But the ties of kinship, I have not know them
I know no mother, no father, no sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
VERSE 3
But when he calls me, I will be able
To meet my family, at Godās table
Iāll meet my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
No more an orphan girl
VERSE 4
Blessed savior, make me willing
And walk beside me, until Iām with them
Be my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
I am an orphan girl
