We do not deserve this heartache
How can we complain?
Evil came calling
Destroying our land
The best I had
In pools of blood
Why did this happen?
I wish I understood
Tragedy, oh tragedy
So thorough and complete
Touching all with scaring wounds
You even took my hope
I hope now in Christ
He is all to me
I see the thorns and nails
Jesus faced evil for me
He knows my pain and horror
Standing beside me
He holds my hand
I hope now in Christ

Praying for the families of the Virginia Tech massacre
Father evil continues to surprise and overwhelm us. Please bring peace to the hearts and minds of the family and friends of those gunned down at Virginia Tech. Help them to work through the darkness of loss and walk toward your comfort and compassion. Help each person that is suffering to heal and live with this great injustice. Lord life can be so unfair. Encourage them and love them in such a way that they will know you in a deeper and more profound way. Jesus we know you love each one of us help us as we grieve.
Bless us this day.

All around are shakes and fries
Instant everything
In a world that is passing away
Life is not very long
People crying for help
Drugs and evil rule
I must hear their plea
Life will set me free
Jesus brings life and light
To hardened, hurting souls
I am called to share
God’s love with those in the cold
The world is a lonely place
Love does not abound
In Christ we share the love He gives
With every one we meet
I am not to judge
I often can’t debate
The world cannot mimic
The love of Christ in the face of hate
Go and tell
Care for the lost
Jesus is seeking through me
And He has paid the cost
