Her parents never took the young girl to church Never spoke of His Never read her His word Two non-believers walking in this world Took their baby with them What a sad little girl
Her daddy drank all day 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 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 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 mom and then took life
And some people from the city took the girl far away To a new mom and a new dad kisses and hugs everyday Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in And small little girl Stared at a picture of Him
She said I know that up there on that cross I don't know His name But I know He got off Cause He was there in my old and held me close to His side As I hid there behind our couch The night that my parents died
