Dear Mr Jesus4

Dear Mr. Jesus

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?

Please, don't let them hurt your children,
We need love and shelter from the storm.
Please, don't let them hurt our children,
Won't you keep us safe and warm?

A little six year old girl, named "Lisa Steinburg"
Who was killed by her mommy and daddy
