Dear Mr. Jesus,

I just had to write to you.

Something really scared me

When I saw it on the news.

A story `bout a little girl

Beaten black and blue.

Mr. Jesus,

Thought I'd take it right to you. 

Dear Mr. Jesus,

I don't understand

Why they took her mom and dad away?

I know that they don't mean to hit

With wild and angry hands.

Tell them just how big they are, I pray.

Please don't let them hurt your children

We need 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

Oh, I hope the doctors stop the pain.

I know that you could save her

And take her up to the sky.

So she would never have to hurt again.

Please don't let them hurt your children

We need 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

But, my mommy hits me, too.

Please don't let them 

Hurt your children !

Thank you, Mr. Jesus

                   Your Loving Child
