A Prayer For the Chapmans

Some of you may have heard by now that late Wed. night, Stephen Curtis Chapman's daughter Maria was tragically killed by an older brother who accidentally hit her with an SUV. The song in this video, Cinderella, was written for Maria (the gal who was hit) and her sister, both adopted orphans from China. I must say, watching this video in this context is the first time I've ever cried when hearing a Stephen Curtis Chapman song. How tragic! "God, we pray that you would comfort the Chapman family at this time and bathe them in your love. Lord, we thank you for Maria's life and we pray for her brothers and sisters as their hearts are broken and grieving. Be with them Lord, Immanuel, be with them."

  1. thanks for this Mike, my own heart is broken over the though of the Chapman family losing their own precious daughter. He is one of my more favorite songwriters and singers.
