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 

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
