Down on my knees--I am today I pray and worship for the lives lost that day Lord oh Mighty, our father above Please wrap and secure us with your never-ending love The world needs you today, there are so many lost alone Though they may have a house to live in, a year ago today they lost their home So many innocent died, both women and children too You're the only one that can touch them like only you can do Candles are lit, flags wave high in the sky Still though a year later, the question on everyone's mind...why? They say good will prevail over evil, and this I believe true It will...because of the love and goodness that comes only from you Red white and blue mixed with those past ashes of smoke and black The day this powerful nation was demolished and under attack Buildings though are made of steel, and they can be built again What though of this hatred, that just seems to never end Satans soldiers are doing his work, and it seems the pain and loss goes on and on So I sit here and I pray, that you will keep us safe from harm Hold us in your hands, let us feel your unconditional love As we wave our flags high, and lift our eyes to the sky above Many years will pass by, but this day will be remembered always, forever The day this nation was attacked, but united close together I know you feel this pain, and hear the cries from those down here Just let them know they aren't alone, and wipe away their tear Thank you God for all you do for me and for those I love and care about I know you will prevail, of this I have no doubt WE as a nation seek you now, now more than ever We will reunite and become strong again, you and us...together "if irish eyes are smiling...they are probably up to something" ![]() [This message has been edited by Aimster (09-11-2002 06:08 PM).] |
