	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 I'm never no more to mention his name
	Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
	Oh heavenly Father help me understand
	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
	I'd like to tell you a story
	Of a family I once knew.
	We'll 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 Sue's expense
	You know she didn抰 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
	There's be a lot more honest loving
	In this wicked ole world today
	If just a few parted parents
	Could hear little Sue say
	Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
	Oh heavenly Father, help me understand
