Dear Mr. Jesus (An Abused Childs Prayer) Lyrics

"Dear Mr. Jesus,
I just had to write to you
Something really scared me
When I saw it on the new
A story about a little girl
Beaten black and blue
Jesus, thought I'd take this
Right to you

Dear Mr. Jesus,
I don't understand
Why they took her mom and dad away
I know that they mean to hit
The father's manly hands
Tell them just how big they are

I pray
Jesus, don't let them hurt your children
Bring me love and shelter from the storm
Please don't let them hurt your children
Won't you keep us safe and warm

Dear Mr. Jesus,
They say that she may die
I will hope the doctors stop the pain
I know that you could save her
And take her up to the sky
So she will never have to hurt again

Please don't let them hurt your children
Bring me love and shelter from the storm
Please don't let them hurt your children
Won't you keep us safe and warm

Dear Mr. Jesus,
Please tell me what to do
And please don't tell my daddy
That my mommy hits me too

Please don't let them hurt your children
Bring me love and shelter from the storm
Please don't let them hurt your children
Won't you keep us safe and warm

Please don't let them hurt your children
Bring me love and shelter from the storm
Please don't let them hurt your children
Won't you keep us safe and warm"
