An Abused Child's Prayer


Thank you, Lord for another day.
Please hide the bruise, I'm so ashamed.
The beating wasn't bad today.
And forgive me for all I'm blamed.

Please hide the bruise, I'm so ashamed.
Don't let her kill me while I sleep.
And forgive me for all I'm blamed.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

Don't let her kill me while I sleep.
Her fist was open, my eyes were shut.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Her words were worse. O, how they cut!

Her fist was open, my eyes were shut.
The beating wasn't bad today.
Her words were worse. O, how they cut!
Thank you, Lord for another day.
