Little Girl

Shadows, is all she ever knows,
light becomes a distant hope,
danger lurking in the normal,
life lived on a slippery slope!

Little girl,
He knows your name,
He feels your every tear;
Little girl,
He holds your sorrow,
In Him you have no fear!

bruises - seep into wounded heart,
strangers not her only danger,
sad eyes, the window to the shame,
life lived - a long way from the manger!

Little girl,
He knows your name,
He feels your every tear;
Little girl,
He holds your sorrow,
In Him you have no fear!

broken by love - that gets abused,
forgotten, by our feeble glance,
seen by our pity - not resolve,
too busy with our shallow dance.

Little girl,
He knows your name,
He feels your every tear;
Little girl,
He holds your sorrow,
In Him you have no fear!

innocence left to die without a choice,
Little girl, may we always hear your voice,
time to mourn in ways that change our heart,
compassion becoming our sacred art!

Little girl,
Jesus is His name,
He weeps with more than tears;
Little girl,
He holds your precious soul,
your pain - He always shares!
