The little girl

[faithful quenga]

There's a Time to Laugh "Ephesians 2: 8-9"

John Michael Montgomery - The Little Girl

Her parents never took the young girl to church
Never spoke of His name
Never read her His word
Two non-believers walking lost in this world
Took their baby with them
What a sad little girl

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play
Or give kisses and hugs
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
While 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
Used a gun on 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 everyday
Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
And a small little girl
Stared at a picture of Him

She said I know that man up there on that cross
I don't know His name
But I know He got off
Cause He was there in my old house
and held me close to His side
As I hid there behind our couch
The night that my parents died


Discussion:
Have you had times in your life while you were scared, hurt, or sad that you felt God hugging you letting you know you'll be alright?
also talk about what ever else this song may bring up for you.

My fiance will sing that song sometimes.
I'm not a huge fan of country but that song is ok.
It makes me cry though.
I like the older country the newer stuff is mostly about booze and bars.
I see bars as a house of ill repute. I do not approve of them at all.

"It is a sin to go before the Lord intoxicated" I don't exactly remember how the scripture puts it though, it's something like that. However drinking is alright in moderation, don't over indulge. I don't partake in drinking though. I don't like it and I don't allow it in my house either.

Some country is ok but I hate the drinking songs and the really depressing songs.

i didn't know this was a song; i had received it via some chain mail. It really made me stop and think about how precious life really is.

I am a sinner... "1 John 1:8"

I grew up listening to country music and there are lots of songs like this one that make me think. I like how country music tells a story a lot of the time.

That's true some country songs do tell a story, I don't know any of the names but there are some really good songs.
I grew up listening to classic rock and alternative.
I love old school country though XD
