Lord.


Lord.

Are you up there Lord.
Are you still up there
Seated at the right hand.
Are you up there Lord

Are you looking down Lord.
Can you see me
Can you see me.
Can you
.
Holding my dead child.
Dead from starvation.

Can you see me Lord.
Can you see me.
Can you.

Is she with you Lord
 Is she with you.
Is she.
