1
A little girl prayed at the close of the day
2
'Cause her daddy had gone far away
3
On her little face was a look of despair
4
I stood there and listened, and I heard this prayer
5
My mommie says, "Daddy has brought us to shame
6
And I'm never no more to mention his name"
7
Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
8
Oh heavenly father, help me understand
9
You know friends I wonder
10
How many homes are broken tonight
11
And just how many tears are shed
12
By some little word of anger
13
That never should have been said
14
I'd like to tell you a story of a family I once knew
15
Well call them Mary and William and their little daughter Sue
16
Now Mary was just a plain mother and Bill was just a usual dad
17
And they had their little family quarrels like everybody else
18
But neither one really got mad
19
Then one day something happened
20
It was nothing of course
21
But one word led to another
22
And the last word led to a divorce
23
Now here were two grown up people
24
Who failed to use common sense
25
They strengthened their own selfish pride
26
At little Sue's expense
27
You know she didn't ask to be brought to this world
28
To drift from pillar to post
29
But a divorce never stops to consider
30
The ones it hurts the most
31
There'd be a lot more honest loving
32
In this wicked ole world today
33
If just a few parted parents
34
Could hear little Sue say
35
Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
36
Oh heavenly father, help me understand
