our tears can fill an ocean
our pain sears as the sun
but we will stand together
as a people we are one

evil swept from the sky
a terror of disgrace
let us begin to heal now
with God's 'amazing grace'

we were lost
but now are found

Grace is what those responsible should be praying for right now...Grace...Forgiveness...I am reminded of another passage from the Bible that is so fitting..."Forgive them, Father, for they known not what they do..."
