All the Homeless Children
[Inspired by Andy Litchfield –Singer & Songwriter]
I pray for all the homeless children
May God keep them safe and secure.
Provide love, shelter and food;
May many miracles to procure.
For these precious children
Need God’s love and protection;
Their rebellion comes from fear,
Hatred and rejection.
These children sleep under bridges;
In parks or in the streets.
Drugs or alcohol numb the pain;
Crime they often meet.
For without a home or education
Work cannot be found.
No government assistance;
Just pain that does abound.
Because you are a loving God;
Know when each sparrow falls;
These children are more precious;
Please heed their aching calls.
Sparrows pushed from the nest
Die a lonely death.
Humans have the same needs
To maintain life’s breath.
Take all these homeless children
Provide for them I pray;
Give them hope and a future;
Even though they’ve gone astray.
Parents don’t love them;
Often don’t care where they’ve gone.
Please provide and protect them
Allow their hope to be reborn.
