Dear Jesus © Jody Dickey 2010 Verse 1 Dear Jesus I’ll say my prayers tonight Maybe there won’t be another fight I know you’re a busy man Watching over all that you can My Momma said you’ve got good ears Can hear the tiniest drops of tears Chorus Dear Jesus Maybe you can make things right If I write you a letter ; send it to Heaven Daddy came home drunk again tonight At a little pass eleven It’s same thing he does almost every night Did you hear us cry up in Heaven ? Verse 2 Like Momma I try to be brave and strong Not make Daddy mad and do anything wrong My Daddy beats on our Mother I’m so scared for her, my sisters and baby brother ( can remove My Sisters ) I’m just little girl not a man I try to take the hits for her when I can Chorus I said my prayers before I went to bed Hoping you heard like Momma said I try be good, obey and not sin I’m sorry I didn’t hear daddy come in He must of lost another bar room fight So he beat on Momma tonight Chorus Verse 3 Momma you’re black and blue Your eye is swollen and your lip too I tried to get to you, make him quit Always same excuse, you made him do it Daddy don’t know how to love Always got to hit and shove Chorus Bridge Momma don’t cry no more I’m going go mail my letter to Heaven’s Door I sealed it with all our hopes and prayers And the tiniest drop of baby’s tears
