"The little girl"

  A man who was as mean as a snake when he drank
decided to hit his wife and child once again,
as his hand reared back and he started to strike
something stopped him, a voice from above saying
those are my children harm shall not come to them

your three year old daughter has been on her knees
saying Dear Lord I don't know if you can hear me but
if you can please come down and save mommy and me,
Daddy is drinking again he is only using his hand
for now but I saw him cleaning a gun I am hurting badly
from the hits before and mommy I can hardly recognize her
her face is swollen and her lip is cut bruises cover her body
and she can hardly walk

when her dad stopped for that moment 911 is where the little
girl called when the operator answered all she said was hurry
before daddy kills us all

the operator asked what is going on, my daddy is drinking
and wont stop beating on us a unseen force has him at bay
but he is fighting to get to his gun

when the police arrive dad had just broke free and reached
for his gun the officer yelled do you want to meet God today
his reply was he already tried to stop me how can you

they rushed the mom and the daughter outside gun fire is all
they heard both started to cry not for dad but because were
safe

the mother thanked the police as the little girl hit her knees
thank you Lord for coming to my rescue I know it was you who
kept daddy from that gun

Remember if you pray with a pure heart God will always
stand in and help you out of danger
