Intro: G (4)
I am an orphan, on God’s highway
But I’ll share my troubles, if you go my way
I have no mother, no father, no sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
G (2) D (2)
I have had friendships, pure and golden
But the ties of kinship, I have not known them
I have no mother, no father, no sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
Instrumental Verse
(skip third line)
G (2) D (2)
But when he calls me, I will be able
G (2) C (2)
To meet my family, at God’s table
I’ll meet my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
No more an orphan girl
Instrumental Verse (skip third line)
G (2) D (2)
Blessed savior, make me willing
G (2) C (2)
And walk beside me, until I’m with them
G (2) D (2) G (2) C (2)
Be my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
I am an orphan girl
I am an orphan girl
