9/11 – Let Us Never Forget by Dan Nelson

9-11Blue skies turn black

A way of life under attack

Peace and Safety seem far away Lives forever changed that fateful day

Broken hearts and memories Witnesses of tragedies

Lives lost – How high the cost Freedoms that we took for granted Lord, help us in our time of need

Humanity clings onto hope Others learning how to cope Forgot that we had enemies Arrogance turns to woeful pleas Lord, forgive us for our greed

Folks supporting one another

One time enemies now called a brother

Realization of a common goal Bring unity

Nervous thought – the fear it’s brought

Uncertainty – new lessons taught Jesus, give us peace!

Hope is near – it has become quite clear

Our prayers are heard by a compassionate ear

God is here – with faith sincere

He can repair each broken heart and wipe away each tear

Heal us Lord

People come from across the land Community – praying hand in hand How can I help? What can I do?

Heroes made from people like you

14 years ago today

We were reminded – it’s time to pray

As we gather this anniversary day Let us not forget!
