Lord, our hearts are heavy
And our tears flow free
The lost of so many lives
Sadden are we
This thing that happen, how can it be
When ones of evil, can decide what life will be
These images of horror, will be buried in our minds
Crying out in mixed emotions, anguish in our eyes
The shadows of darkness, cries of pain
Hands clutched so tightly, as ones watched in dismay
My God, what is happening, as panic set in
People running for their lives
Helping each other, praying to survive
As walls shattered, flames of fire
Burst of glowing cinders, lifting high into the skies
Bellowing smoke, swollen and gray
Piles of rubble, dirty and grave
Sounds of terror, among the ruins
My God, My God, was echo thru out
Today Lord, many lives have change
Our loved ones are missing, we are so afraid
Some of our loved ones, we will not see
They have come to Heaven, to be with thee
Please Lord, give us all your strength
The power of your undying love
Help us to rebuild and recover
From this evil of darkness
I pray to thee, My Lord above.
