Freedom's Prayer by Danny B Bourg

 

Dear Heavenly Father, in the midst of horror

Give us the grace to see tomorrow

Strengthen our hearts, to face the pain

May the works of our hands, be not in vain

 

Give peace to the families, of those missing

The names of victims, they keep on listing

Give closure to those, of the bodies recovered

May you bless this nation, for all who've suffered

 

Please give our leaders, the wisdom to guide

That they take your vision, and hold it inside

May we get justice, for the crime at hand

That our country will not fell, this fear of man

 

Show the world, that our prayers do not rust

United are we, and in God we trust

We are brought to our knees, prayers towards Heaven

Since the tragedy, the days are seven

 

In your name we pray, we do it together

To help us deal, with this attack of terror

May we still be a nation, with the good will for all men

Be with us forever, we ask. Amen
