When we first heard this song, it really touched home for us in so many many ways. It just pulled at our heart strings and thought it should have it's own page to honour the children who have suffered at the hands of abusers. Our hope is one day this page will not have to be here and that abuse of any kind will not be tolerated. There's no excuse for child abuse. Our hope is you will find the song and lyrics below as touching as we did.
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 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 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 We need love and shelter from the storm Please don't let them hurt your children Won't you keep us safe and warm
