The Little Girl |
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 kisses 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 |
BRIDGE |
And like it always does the bad just got worse |
With 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 a city |
Took the girl far away |
To a new mom and a new dad |
Kisses and hugs every day |
BRIDGE (Same as before) |
Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in And a small little girl stared at a picture 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 |
