For the sake of the children

[Taylor]

I've been looking for a song I heard as a teenager. I think it was composed by an Adventist but I am not sure. The melody is a bit haunting. There were three verses, I think, but I only remember this much. If you can tell who the composer or artist was that sang this song I would really appreciate it. I am looking for the other two verses:

In a land not far away

A little girl sits crying she's only 3

All alone she sits in her bombed out home

No one needs to tell her, war is on

But to the armies around her

She's just another refuge

Another war statistic

In a land where someone's fight for right

Is another person's loss of life

This little girl faces life alone

And God, she's only three years old!

Chorus:

For the sake of the children, come quickly Lord

For the sake of all the children, come soon.

All around this cruel world

Their little cries go out unheard

For the sake of the children come soon.
