      D                                
Her parents never took the young girl to church
                                  Bm         A 
Never spoke of his name, Never read her his word
      D   
Two non-believers walking lost in this world
                                  Bm         A 
Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl
     
      D
Her Daddy drank all day and Mommy did drugs
                               Bm          A
Never wanted to play, or give kisses and hugs
      D     
She'd watch the TV, and sit there on the couch
                                     Bm      A   Asus
While her Mom fell asleep, and her Daddy went out

          Bm                G                 D         A
And the drinking and the fighting just got worse every night
          Bm                G                 D         A
Behind their couch she'd be hiding, oh what a sad little life

          D     
And like it always does, the bad just got worse
                    Bm       A
With every slap and every curse
          D 
Until her Daddy, in a drunken rage one night
                                 Bm        A   Asus
Used a gun on her Mom, and then took his life

        Bm                G             D        A
And some people from the city took the girl far away
         Bm              G    D           A       Asus
To a new Mom and a new Dad, Kisses and hugs everyday

       D (PM)
Her first day of Sunday school, the teacher walked in
                                      Bm (PM)    A (PM)
And a small little girl stared at a picture of Him
       D (PM)
She said, I know that man there on that cross
                              Bm (PM)    A    Asus
I don't know His name, but I know He got off

        Bm                  G 
Cause He was there in my old house
         D                A
And held me close to His side
        Bm                G 
As I hid there behind our couch 
        D                  A   Asus
The night that my parents died
