about

Although we are miles away in Alabama, we have been following the tragic news of Tim Bosma. Truly heartbreaking.

Jen Slocumb-Coates grew up in Ancaster and we lived in Ancaster several years before moving to the states.

It's been amazing to see the outpouring of love for this family across the Hamilton community, Canada, and even the world.

Last Thursday night (May 16, 2013) we were inspired to write this song for Sharlene Bosma and family.

PRAYER FOR THE BROKEN HEART

How can a man take the life of a man
This is something that we all don't understand

Now that girl and her mother are gonna have to live without him
It shouldn't have to be this way for them

So say a prayer for the broken heart
who's left to carry on
we're all hurting for you
you've got a nation standing strong
and the choirs will be singing
all across the land
momma hold your little girl
and we'll hold your hand

One woman broken, a part of her is gone
but for the sake of their daughter, she's strong
oh I know that you loved him, but he'll be alright
yeah he's flying with the angels tonight

So say a prayer for the broken heart
who's left to carry on
we're all hurting for you
you've got a nation standing strong
and the choirs will be singing
all across the land
momma hold your little girl
and we'll hold your hand

That little girl is gonna know
her daddy loved her so
but now he's been taken
won't get to see her grow

So say a prayer for the broken heart
who's left to carry on
we're all hurting for you
you've got a nation standing strong
and the choirs will be singing
all across the land
momma hold your little girl
and we'll hold your hand
Sharlene hold your little girl
and we'll hold your hand
