Devastating News

Yesterday, Steven Curtis Chapman- a christian music artist and Middle Tennessee resident- lost his daughter. She was struck by a vehicle driven by her older brother in the family's driveway. Maria was 5 years old, and the youngest of the Chapman's 6 children. She was one of the three little girls adopted from China. This is devastating. My heart goes out to their family. I can't even imagine their pain, and the suffering that her brother must be enduring. Please keep this family in your prayers.

I will end with a new song of his...it's heartbreaking to hear now...

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,

Without a care in the world.

And I'm sittin' here wearin'

the weight of the world on my shoulders.

It's been a long day and there's still work to do,

She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!

There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited

and I need to practice my dancin'"

"Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms'

Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh I will dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song,

Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed

She wants to know if I'd approve of a dress

She says "Dad, the prom is just one week away,

And I need to practice my dancin'"

"Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms'

Cause I know something the prince never knew

Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song,

Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone

She will be gone.

Well, she came home today

With a ring on her hand

Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned

She says "Dad, the wedding's due six months away

And I need to practice my dancin'"

"Oh please, daddy please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song, (even one song)

Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone
