There
was an atheist couple who had a child. The couple never told their
daughter
anything about the Lord.
One
night when the little girl was 5 years old, the parents fought with
each
other and the dad shot the Mom, right in front of the child. Then, the
dad shot himself.The little girl watched it all.
She
then was sent to a foster home. The foster mother was a Christian and
took
the child to church.
On
the first day of Sunday School, the foster mother told the teacher that
the girl had never heard of Jesus, and
to have patience with her.
The
teacher held up a picture of Jesus and said, "Does anyone know
who
this is?"
The
little girl said, "I
do, that's the man who was holding me the
night my parents died."
Here
are the lyrics to the song by John
Michael Montgomery
The
Little Girl
Her
parents never
took
the
young girl to
church
Never
spoke of his
name
Never
read her his
words
two non
believers
walking
lost in
this world
Took
their baby
with them
what a
sad little
girl
Her
daddy drank all
day
and her
mommy did
drugs
Never
wanted to
play
or give
kisses and
hugs
She'd
watch the
t.v.
and sit
there on
the couch
As her
mom fell
asleep
and her
daddy went
out
And the
drinking
and the fighting
just got
worse every
night
Behind
their couch
she'd be hiding
oh what
a sad little
life
And
like it always
does
the bad
just got
worse
With
every slap
and
every curse
Until
her daddy
in a
drunk rage
one night
Took a
gun to her
mom
and then
took his
life
And some
people
from the city
took the
girl far
away
To a new
mom and
a new dad
kisses
and hugs
every day
First
day at Sunday
school
the
teacher walked
in
And a
sad little
girl
stared
at a picture
of him
She said
I know
that man
there on
the cross
I don't
know his
name
but I
know he got
off
Cause he
was there
in my old house
held me
close to
his side
As I hid
there behind
our couch
the
night that my
parents died
Sung

Matthew
18:
1
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is
the
greatest in the
kingdom of heaven?
2
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the
midst
of them,
3
And said, Verily I say unto you,Except ye be converted, and become as
little
children, ye
shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same
is greatest in the
kingdom of heaven.
5
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth
me.
6
But whoso shall offend one of theselittle ones which believe in me, it
were better for him
that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and
that
he were drowned in the depth of
the sea.
