Love them where you love them – v3


Don’t judge the children
caught in the grip of evil
the demons’ marks upon them
their addiction is guiding their steps;
praying through the pain

Pray, don’t seek to change them
you cannot anyway
they would not listen;
love them where you love them
praying through the pain

Caring without judging
don’t try to stand in their shoes
you don’t know their story;
love them where you love them
praying through the pain
