  • Chorus
  • [sung]
  • A little girl prayed at the close of the day,
  • Cause her daddy had gone far away,
  • On her little face was a look of despair,
  • I stood there and listened, and I heard this prayer
  • My mommie says daddy has brought us to shame
  • And Im never no more to mention his name
  • Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
  • Oh heavenly father help me understand
  • [recitation]
  • You know friends I wonder--
  • Just how many homes are broken tonight
  • And just how many tears are shed
  • By some little word of anger
  • That never should have been said
  • Id like to tell you a story
  • Of a family I once knew.
  • Well call them mary and william
  • And their little daughter sue
  • Now mary was just a plain mother
  • And bill was just a usual dad
  • And they had their little family quarrels
  • (like everybody else)
  • But neither one really got mad
  • Then one day something happened
  • It was nothing of course
  • But one word led to another
  • And the last word led to a divorce
  • Now here were two grown up people
  • Who failed to use common sense
  • They strengthened their own selfish pride
  • At little sues expense
  • You know she didnt ask to be brought to
  • This world
  • To drift from pillar to post
  • But a divorce never stops to consider
  • The ones it hurts the most
  • Thered be a lot more honest loving
  • In this wicked ole world today
  • If just a few parted parents
  • Could hear little sue say
  • [sung]
  • Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
  • Oh heavenly father, help me understand
