Pictures of
grief flushing in my mind
Wondering what’s
happening to mankind
A thousand
questions I have no answers to
Lots of
happenings yet I don’t know what to do
I raise my
hands up high on my knees as I worship,
"Oh Lord
remember you promised us ease after hardship
Tonight I call
your name, please Lord tell me
How much
tears do we have to cry,
before you
know that we are in pain?
How many
people have to die,
before you
show us your mercy again?
How many orphans
have to suffer,
before you
show them that you are
the Father,
who art in heaven?
The Father to
the fatherless
How many
have to varnish in darkness
Before you
show them that you are the light of the world
How many of
the hungry have to perish,
Before you
show them that you are the bread of life?
Fulfill
your promise to the widows ‘to love and to cherish’
Their true
husband, their defender
How many of
the weak have to slip away,
before you
show them that you are their strength?
Forgive me
Lord for I don’t understand your will
But tonight,
for all of them I close my eyes to pray
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Amen."
