"What we are is God's gift to us, what we become is our gift to God"


"You're child's got cancer" She heard the doctor say
That broken hearted momma, bowed her head to pray
Her eyes were red from crying, they didn't understand
They came in for a checkup this was not what they had planned

chorus: Too many mom's and daddy's hear these words everyday
Too many children left to suffer after what the doctor's say
Too many boys and little girls are fighting for their life
Too many little chemo patients, too young to know wrong from right
Come on lets help these families, lets not loose anymore
Oh God please help us, in the race to find the cure

Your 5 year old's got 2 weeks of life so you better make them last
That father hung his head and cried, that time went by so fast
Your little boy has no fighting chance to hold on to his life
His mom and dad began to cry and held their baby tight

chorus:Too many mom's and daddy's hear these words everyday
Too many children left to suffer, after what the doctors say
Too many boys, and little girls fighting for their life
Too many little chemo patients to young to know wrong from right
Come on lets help these families, lets not loose any more
Oh God please help us, in the race to find the cure

bridge:Help them find the cure, too may kids have parted
Find the cure, their lives they haven't even started
Come on lets help these families, lets not loose any more
Oh God please help us, in the race to find the cure

chorus: Too many mom's and daddy's hear these words every day
Too many children left to suffer, after what the doctors say
Too many boys and little girls fighting for their life
Too many little chemo patients, too young to know wrong from right
Come on let's help these families, lets not loose any more
Oh God please help us, in the race to find the cure

Oh God please help us, in the race to find the cure

I wrote this piece after I saw a St. Jude's commercial. I want to post it on Youtube, and share it with the world. I don't have any chords for it yet, but I soon should.
