There was a song back in the 80's called Dear Mr. Jesus?

Question

what is the name of the artist who sings it? I know a little girl named Sharon Batts sang the song but who sang it with her? what is the man's name ?

Answer 1

Hi,

The band that sang the song with Sharon Batts is called PowerSource - they are an evangelical Christian youth band from Beford, TX. This was on their "Shelter From The Storm" album. I cannot find any information about the man singing the song with her. It may be the writer, Richard Klender, but I have absolutely no proof of it. Sorry:(

A good site to download the song, though:

Dear Mr. Jesus Lyrics

Dear Mr. Jesus, I just had to write to you
Something really scared me, when I saw it on the news
A story 'bout a little girl beaten black and blue
Jesus, thought I'd take this right to you

Dear Mr. Jesus, I don't understand
Why they took her mom and dad away
I know that they don't mean to hit with wild and angry hands
Tell them just how big they are I pray

Please don't let them hurt your children
We need love and shelter from the storm
Please don't let them hurt your children
Won't you keep us safe and warm

Dear Mr. Jesus, they say that she may die
Oh I hope the doctors stop the pain
I know that you could save her and take her up to the sky
So she would never have to hurt again

Please don't let them hurt your children..

Dear Mr. Jesus, please tell me what to do
And please don't tell my daddy
But my mommy hits me, too.

Please don't let them hurt your children...
