Cause her daddy had gone far away
On her little face was a look of despair
I stood there and listened
Oh, Heavenly Father, help me understand.
You know, friends, I wonder
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
We'll just call them Mary and William,
and their little daughter Sue.
Now Mary was just a plain mother,
and Bill, well, he was the usual dad.
But 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 see common sense.
they strengthened their own selfish pride
to be brought into this world,
to drift from pillar to post,
but a divorce never stops
to consider the one it hurts the most.
There'd be a lot more honest loving
in this wicked world today
if just a few parted parents
could hear little Sue say,
Oh, Heavenly Father, help me understand.
