Don't let my babies die.
My children's screams ring in my ears as the car is filled with fear.
It has only been a moment but seems an eternity.
Their screams of fear cuts me like a thousand shards of glass.
I can only pray to God this won't last.
Please I beg in that instant don't let my babies die.
Take my life if you must but don't let them be hurt.
I can feel their fear like the dark cloak of death wrapping around my heart.
Praying for their lives as we hit the ground.
Please oh don't let a mothers worst fear come true.
This mother is begging you.
Don't let my babies die.
I hear my heart scream and cry.
Lord don't take away all I have without them I would not last.
So precious are my children hearing their cries of fear as mere seconds pass.
God I beg you please spare their sweet lives and don't let my babies die.
On the ground on our side I look around.
There they are safe and sound.
Please let the door open no it won't.
Fear fills me but I must stay calm.
Reaching up I try the window oh yes it opened to my shaking hand.
I grab each one and push them through telling them "I love you".
Still must get away from the car we have not yet gone far.
There are helping hands and police say how can you stand.
You should not be alive or walking about.
In my heart I hear a happy shout God heard my prayers and we are here.
Thank you for your grace because of you today my babies did not die.
Hold each day precious and true and hold your loved ones close to you.
My worst nightmare could have come true and I would have been lost without you.
But because God heard your mother's cries my precious babies you did not die.
