Resurrection Band - Wendi's Rap lyrics

(I'd like to tell you a story
About a little girl she
Was a happy little girl she
Would wake up each morning
Just kind of excited to be
Alive and wondering what great
Thing would happen that day she had a lot
Of love and trust she had that real spark of
Childlike innocence and faith she
Was fournot quite five
She had a brother and a sister
They were younger she had a mother whom
She dearly loved and dad who was really
Struggling with alcoholism in one day
In this child's world
It just came to an abrupt change this
Little girl's mother woke up blind
In one of her eyes it was a
Freak virus no one knew why
But it was terrifying she didn't know
If it was going to attack
The other eye or what was going to happen she
Was looking for a miracle she was desperate
She wanted to keep her family together she
Went into the hospital looking for a
Healing, and the three children
Went off to the
Grandparents now this seemed like a very good
Idea for the little girl the grandfather was
A pastor in a small, Southern town
A respected man in his community but there
Was something about him
That a lot of people didn't know
And that was the fact that he was
A child molester and within that time
While her mother was in the hospital
The little girl went through
Unspeakable horrorsand that childlike
Light, that innocence, that
Trust, that faith, it was stomped on, and it
Was gone now I know about that
Because I was that little girl

My mother, she got her sight back
And we were reunited as a
Familybut I was never the same i
Was angry, I wondered why
Wondered what I had done wrong by the
Time I was a teenager, I was
Just a bubbling cauldron of emotions
Getting ready to erupt
I lived like a crazy person I didn't
Care what happened i'd use a person
They'd use me - hey it didn't matter
What was love? And right around my
Eighteenth birthday
My sister invited me to come to this
Coffee house andit's kind of a rock
Club and there was this group playing on the
Stage, and they were playing, you know
Some good music it was my kind
Of music but it was very
Weird because they were
Talking about God and, in between the songs
This man
Got up and he said that no matter what you've
Done, no matter what has been done to you
You can be like a little child again

It was like an arrow piecing my heart
I started to get all shook
Up, and I thought, "I'm gonna cry
In front of these people
I gotta get out of here" I went and
I hid in the ladies bathroom i thought, "Hey
I'll get a big drink of water, i'll
Swallow the big lump in my throat, and I'll
Leave here" But, as I walked out
Someone touched me
On the shoulder and they asked methey said
"Do you want to pray?" i didn't know if
I could trust God, but I took a
Chance I didn't have anything to lose
And I desperately wanted
To be a new person i wanted to
Be that little child again so
That night I trusted
Jesus Christ with my problems, my fears
My hurts and every night we do a concert
I know that Jesus Christ
Is piercing someone's heartand
His love is right there for you)
