Blue 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
17 years ago today
We were reminded – it’s time to pray
As we gather this anniversary day Let us not forget!
