R. Kelly provides some comfort in the weeks following the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. The R&B veteran has released “I Know You Are Hurting” as a tribute to the children of Newtown. The spiritual number features a children’s choir and healing words penned by Kellz, who doesn’t actually sing a verse.

“I know you’re hurting/ I hear you crying, but come tomorrow, there’s a place you can go/ Find the blue skies/ Hear the choir sing/ Feel the power of a miracle,” sings the choir.

The song is now available on iTunes.
