This morning I was listening to the radio, and KGGI 99.1 played one of the weirdest songs I ever heard in my entire life. In this song a little child wishes death to her parents, questions the love of Jesus, and compares herself to Him.

"Jesus they beat me black and blue/ but I stay strong like you"
"oh Jesus please don't tell daddy that mommy beats me too/they will kill me soon"
"if you loved me you would of gave me shelter from the storm/ kept me safe and warm"

...and the girl says so many other surprising things throughout the song. It's weird because the words are coming from a little girl, and she is singing to the background of a cheery Christmas song. If I wasn't paying attention to the lyrics I would of thought it was "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer."

has anyone else heard this song?!

Lyrics to Dear Mr. Jesus


Dear Mr. Jesus, I just had to write to you
Something really scared me,
when I saw it on the news,
A story 'bout a little girl beaten black and blue
Jesus, thought I'd take this right to you.


Dear Mr. Jesus, I don't understand,
Why they took her mom and dad away.
I know that they don't mean to hit
with wild and angry hands,
Tell them just how big they, are I pray.


Please don't let them hurt your children,
We need love and shelter from the storm.
Please don't let them hurt your children,
Won't you keep us safe and warm.


Dear Mr. Jesus, they say that she may die,
Oh I hope the doctors stop the pain.
I know that you could save her,
and take her up to the sky,
So she would never have to hurt again.


Please don't let them hurt your children,
We need love and shelter from the storm.
Please don't let them hurt your children,
Won't you keep us safe and warm.


Dear Mr. Jesus, please tell me what to do,
And please don't tell my daddy,
But my mommy hits me, too.
Please don't let them hurt your children,
We need love and shelter from the storm.
Please don't let them hurt your children,
Won't you keep us safe and warm.


Please don't let them hurt your children,
We need love and shelter from the storm.
Please don't let them hurt your children,
Won't you keep us safe and warm.

The lyrics do sound very similar, but I don't think it's the same song. The other lyrics sound much "darker."

Thanks for posting though! :)
