A young nation mourns
While hatred kills again
Evil raises its ugly head
Our unceasing prayers cry out loud
Surrounded by heavy hearts
We ask God for His strength
His unwavering love
For those who died and their families
Our souls openly weep
In the streets
Of every town
We stand side-by-side
Held by
His tender mercy and grace
Today ~
Now at this moment
And in this time
We stand
Against all evil
Everywhere
Let the power of prayer
Become our strength,
Our treasure, our healing
God’s embrace
All life matters
We stand
Together hand-and-hand
We hold
Onto mercy and love
God’s assurance
Our cries are heard
And we are never alone!
When no reason can ever explain
These retched days of killing innocents
Where did we go so wrong? . . . .senseless
