this is a song that is very near to my heart

and i hope it has a good feeling on your heart too...Leann jasper, GA



her parents never took the young girl to church

Never spoke of his name, never read her his word

Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world

Took their baby with them what a sad little girl



Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs

Never wanted to play or give kissed and hugs

She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch

while her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out



and the drinking and the fighting

just got worse every night

behind their couch she'd be hiding

oh what a sad little life



And like it always does the bad just got worse

whith every slap and every curse

until her daddy in a drunk rage one night

used a gun on her mom and then took his life

and some people from the city

took the girl far away

to a new mom and a new dad

kisses and hugs every day



her first day af sunday school the teacher walked in

and a small little girl stared at a pitcher of him

she said I know that man up there on that cross

I don't know his name but i know he got off

cause he was there in my old house

and held me close to his side

as I hid there behind our couch

the night that may parents died
