Hey there my friends,

  This song swells me up in tears everytime that I hear it. I wish that there was no such thing as Child abuse, because we all should be loved and none of us should be abused ever. I keep a prayer close to my heart for all of those kid's out there that are begin abused and don't have anywhere to go. I had cried for a good while when I had heard this sweet song and wanted to share with you, along with a poem that suits the blog so well.

Here are the lyrics to the song, 'Dear Mr. Jesus'

Dear Mr. Jesus, I just had to write to you

Something really scared me, when I saw it on the news

A story 'bout a little girl beaten black and blue

Jesus, thought I'd take this right to you

Dear Mr. Jesus, I don't understand

Why they took her mom and dad away

I know that they don't mean to hit with wild and angry hands

Tell them just how big they are I pray

Please don't let them hurt your children

We need love and shelter from the storm

Please don't let them hurt your children

Won't you keep us safe and warm

Dear Mr. Jesus, they say that she may die

Oh I hope the doctors stop the pain

I know that you could save her and take her up to the sky

So she would never have to hurt again

Please don't let them hurt your children..

Dear Mr. Jesus, please tell me what to do

And please don't tell my daddy

But my mommy hits me, too.

Please don't let them hurt your children...

Here is the poem that I had promised all of you. 

The Pain Will Never Go Away

Author Unknown

The black will never turn to gray;
The blood will not congeal.
The violence is never through;
The past does not depart.

Time will merely make you whole,
Consuming what you are:
Part sufferer, part comforter,
Part victim, part new song;

Part mother of an angry soul,
Part child of despair,
Part witness and part conqueror
Of all that did you wrong.

When I go to do my 24 hour vigial today from 10:00pm to 11:00 pm. I am going to add a prayer for the abused childern and women out there.

Prayer for All Who Are Abused

You chose, O loving God,
to enter this world
quietly, humbly, and as an outcast.
Hear our prayers
on behalf of all who are abused:

For children,
who suffer at the hands
of parents whom they trust and love;
for spouses,
beaten and destroyed
by the very one
who promised to love
and to cherish them forever;
for all people
ignored, hated and cheated.
by the very neighbor
who could be the closest one
to offer your love.

Hear the cry of the oppressed.
Let the fire of your Spirit fill their hearts
with the power of vision, and hope.
Grant to them empowerment to act,
that they may not be passive victims
of violence and hatred.
Fulfill for them the promises you have made,
that their lives may be transformed
and their oppression ended.

Turn the hearts of the oppressor unto you
that their living may be changed
by your forgiving love;
and their abusive actions
and oppressive ways brought to an end.

Amen.

May you please join me in keeping a prayer for all those who are abused out there,

Megan

PS. There are so many video's out there about people trying to make a difference, that it blesse's my heart to see that so many want to make a difference.
