TRAGEDY AND TEARS

When tragedy takes away lives
When catastrophe sows tears
What can we say what can we do
Words cannot console the deepest hurt inside
of those mourning and grieving

The earth shakes explodes and trembles
longing for the Kingdom of God to come
A millennium of peace and love
Our hearts aching for the promised new beginning

Father God we reach out to You for guidance
Establish Your foundation in our heart of hearts
Help us to build Your Kingdom in the lives of all

No more hatred no more injustice
Let us be a reflection of Your Kindness
Your sweet compassion and graceful mercy
Reflecting You through spring winter summer and fall

When tragedy takes away lives
When catastrophe keeps sowing tears
Moment by moment day by day
Our loving care will heal the hearts of those hurting
compassionately erasing away their agonizing fears

Blessings and love in Christ,
Monique
