The prayer of the Children...

Kurt Bestor surved an LDS mission in Serbia, and wrote this song about the children
whom he wanted to be as happy as him during this war struck country in the 1970's
the lyrics to this song help to paint a picture of the pain, and the anger, and the tears
that these children were facing. this song is important to me, it shows not only THEIR
pain, but the pain of the children in the world today.
this song is a true work of art and sends me to tears everytime i hear it.

God Bless Our Troops, Our Families, and Our Children.



"can you hear, the prayer of the children on bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room?

Empty eyes with no more tears to cry, turning heavenward toward the light.

Crying, “Jesus, help me to see the morning light of one more day.

But if I should die before I wake, I pray my soul to take?”

Can you feel the hearts of the children aching for home, for something of their very own?

Reaching hands with nothing to hold on to, but hope for a better day.

Crying, “Jesus help me to feel the love again in my own land?

But if unknown roads lead away from home, give me loving arms, away from harm.”

Can you hear the voice of the children softly pleading for silence in their shattered world?

Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate, blood of the innocent on their hands.

Crying, “Jesus, help me to feel the sun again upon my face.

For when darkness clears I know you're near, bringing peace again.”
