A Child in a Distant Land

Little Brother

Jesus, remember the little girl who asked you to keep all your children from harm.
Well, I found out my mother doesn't want my baby brother.
At least, I'm hoping it's a boy; you see, he's not been born.
Please don't let them hurt my little brother.
He should have a chance to run and play.
He's too small to talk, so Jesus I am asking for him.
Please don't let them take his life away.
Tonight, when Mommy went to bed,
I turned and laid my head down on her and I think I felt a move.
So I just cried and whispered, "Baby this is your big sister.
And I pray with all my hear that you will live."
Jesus, please don't let them hurt my little brother.
He should have a chance to run and play.
Let him see the sunshine, let him know a mother's love.
Don't let them take his life away.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the unborn children you will keep.
But if they should die before they're born,
I pray you'll take them in your arms.
Jesus, please protect the little unborn children.
They have every right to run and play.
But they're too small to talk, so Jesus we are asking for them.
Let them live to see the light of day.
Please protect the little unborn children.
They have every right to run and play.
But they're too small to talk, so we are asking for them.
Let them live to see the light of day.
Jesus, keep my brother safe, I pray.

Are we only human when we can speak for ourselves?
A rapper, Nick Cannon, has the video at the bottom of this post, it's such a beautiful story.
God has a way of healing situations that look impossible to the human eye, even for those who aren't saved. His mercy is great. And He can heal so much.
