We
Awoke...
We awoke this
morning, The sun shining bright.
Not knowing the
day held such a plight.
Our world as we knew
it came tumbling down
Our hopes and our
dreams lay all around.
The evil people who
have done us this wrong.
Have brought us
together and made us strong.
Our father in heaven
will see us through this.
Our Family
and Friends we will always miss.
We will look to the
heavens and see you close by,
but we will always
wonder why you had to die.
May God bless America
on this tragic day.

Free people grieve today
for lives that we have lost,
patriots paying AGAIN
for our freedom's cost.
Not one drop of blood
taken by evil demand
shall lay wasted in
some terrorist's hand.
Raising from the ashes
of a somber New York Sky
America will remember
and you will never die.

The Day The World Cried
Life gone in an instant
With blasts of hate from air
Caught within a moment
This deed done brings despair
Contemplate this evil
What good has this deed done
Left us filled with hatred
This battle never won
Torn with mass destruction
Deliberate hate designed
For only in one instant
Deep sorrow for mankind
Families filled with horror
Hearts are filled with tears
Within us saddest moment
What purpose brings us here
Let us join united
To say a silent prayer
For those who were the victims
Their voices we must hear
People joining hands now
Creating biggest chain
Bringing forth a miracle
Where evil brought such pain
Innocent are dead now
What power does this give
Lost within the horror
But yet we all must live
Fear cannot bring power
For deep inside hate looms
The power of the people
In silent prayer resumes
Hands that reached so bravely
To help those find a way
With hearts of grateful nation
We bow our heads and pray
For all those who are lost now
On this most dreaded day
We pray that God will give us
The strength to find a way.

A LITTLE PRAYER
May the angels keep you till morning,
May they guide you through the night,
May they comfort all your sorrows,
May they help you win the fight.
May they keep watch on your soul,
May they show you better ways,
May they guard you while you're sleeping,
May they see you through your days.
May they show you new hopes,
May they still your every doubt,
May they calm your every fear,
May they hear you when you shout.
May the angels keep you till morning,
More than this, I cannot pray,
And if the angels ever fail you,
Then may God be there that day.

A MESSAGE
I've cried to God as I've beheld
The world wrapped up in fear
Of lack and death and war that looms
To snatch lives held so dear
I said, "My God! - Have you not heard
The newsmen on TV?!
Do you not know the shape we're in?!
Do you not care for me?!"
"I'm scared, Dear Jesus! - Help us! - Please!
There's news of fear and war
And I'm afraid, Lord - I admit! -
Of what might be in store."
"Peace, be still, My child," He said
"And hear now what I say
For I have seen and heard the cries
Of those who, to Me, pray.
"Keep your eyes upon ME now
Not what you hear or see
And, as you do, you'll keep My peace -
IF your mind stays on ME!"
"It matters not what one man says
Or even many more
For I am God, and I decide
Each day what lies in store."
"I've told you there would be such times
When, of these things, You'd hear
I told you so you'd be PREPARED
And FULL OF PEACE, not fear."
"For all these things MUST be fulfilled
Yet MY WORD fails not
For I AM still your Hiding Place
As all the fires rage hot."
"You're hid beneath MY shadow now
And you can rest in Me
Yes you can trust My Words of LOVE
To last eternally."
"For I'm your Father, Counselor, Friend
Your Alpha and your End
And if this was the world's last day
Be sure, for you, I'd send."
"I've promised I'd save you a place
If you would stay in Me
Stay pure and faithful, eyes on Me
And, victory, you'll see."
"I can't tell you if it's 'the end' -
NO human man can know
But I CAN tell you, it IS close,
So be prepared to go."
"Each day I give you, reach in love
To save another soul
For snatching them from Me for Hell
Is truly Satan's goal."
"Occupy until I come
Live each day FULL in ME
Just keep your eyes upon MY face
And know that I DO see."
"I see the world, I see YOUR LIFE
And I DO care for YOU
And know, no matter WHAT occurs
My love for you stands TRUE."
"I'm Alpha and Omega - God -
I'm King and Lord of ALL
I'll be right near to care for you
As, on My name, you call."
"For I can change the hearts of Kings
And I, their hearts, do try
And I'M the one who formed this world
And says when it shall die."
"So, USE this time to SEEK THE LOST
And tell them of My Love
That they, too, may be saved and live
With Me, again, above."
"Don't listen to fear's voice - hear MINE!
Then STAND on what you've heard
Don't fear yours or the world's fate -
It's destined by MY WORD."
"Keep your eyes on ME, My Child,
And let Me wipe each tear
For I am God and IN CONTROL -
So live in peace, not fear."

Go Light Your
World
There is a candle
in every soul
Some brightly burning,
Some dark and cold
There is a spirit
who brings the fire
Ignites his candle
and makes his home
Carry your candle,
Run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless,
confused and torn
Hold out your candle
for all to see it
Take your candle
and go light your world
Frustrated brothers,
see how he's tried
to
Light his own candle
some other way
See now our sister,
She's been robbed
and lied to
Still holds a candle
without a flame
So carry your candle,
run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely,
the tired and worn
Hold out your candle
for all to see it
Take your candle
and
go light your world
We are a family whose
hearts are blazing
We raise our candles
and light up the sky
Praying to our Father,
"In the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon
in darkest times!"
Carry your candle,
run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless,
deceived and poor
Hold out your candle
for all to see it
Take your candle
and go light your world.

Light Your World"
