In her best Sunday dress
Long blonde curls
Arranged in a
Pretty bow,
Long blonde curls
Arranged in a
Pretty bow,
A Daughter of God.
Jesus loves us
The Bible says
Unconditionally
We pray
The Lord will
Take and Keep
Our Souls.
Until the day
Innocence is lost
On the wrong side
Not clean and shiny
Not good enough
Not enough
For Jesus' love--
Compassion,
Forgiveness,
Tolerance--
A liturgical
"Song and Dance."
Little Southern girl,
Sunday-dressed and
Blonde hair flowing,
She leaves
Never to return
Except when
Bought and paid.
