President Bush declared Friday September 14,2001 as a day of "Rest and Remberance." Many people all over the nation attended candlelight vigils and masses to pray not only for the victims, their families and friends, but for themselves and the nation as a whole. If you have a poem or prayer you would like to add here, please email me at [email protected] and I will gladly add them. I hope the words you find below are comforting to you during such a trying time in our lives.
Buildings tumbled, lives were lost Grown men cried, at the horror wrought Time will pass and hearts will heal, But the memory and the feelings, we won't conceal
We'll bury our dead and with unwavering resolve, Our nation will grow stronger as we look to God
Never forget what you witnessed today It's an ominous sign of the world's decay
We as a nation have become the example for the world Our grief will be deep but our strength will prevail
As you look at the skyline of a city in pain Let us embrace our countrymen, as they do the same
Remember your loved ones, remember to pray An act of war has been proclaimed today
We as a nation have stood the test We won't bow under and we'll never rest Our arms still reach, across the world Our flag fly's high, its stripes unfurled
The stars still sparkle, our freedom reigns Nothing can diminish our country's pain United we'll stand against any attack, We'll show the world, America fights back!
"The flame that burns the brightest is the light of the eternal human spirit: a beacon of love, justice and peace that will never be extinguished.
It will triumph over the forces of darkness And illunminate for the whole world The true path to freedom, Through goodness, hope and love."
Dear Heavenly Father,
We are moved by the alarming news and crisis that our country is facing. This, the greatest nation, founded in the belief that "In God We Trust" & the "Land of the Free". Please have mercy on those suffering, hurting and in fear, and give wisdom & strength to those who are assisting. May the forces of evil be broken by your power and may we humble before thee, our strength and refuge.
Give wisdom to all President & our leaders and bring your comforting peace through the power of your Holy Spirit. Help us here to reach to those that have been affected by this tragedy. In the name of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. AMEN
