And God Cried Too

Lord, around this time we're tentative
About this warring earth
We need Your peace within our hearts
The promise of Your Word

You must be crying too
To see all this unrest
Your clock of time now winding down
Until man's final test

We cannot tell what's coming next
We need Your mighty hand
May our lives be held in Yours
For all we need to stand

Though turmoil rage on every shore
Eternal peace is ours to keep
Our souls secure within Your love
Though our hearts may softly weep

Each day we're safe within Your care
Every comrade soldier fighting strife
Dear Father, may our leaders find all wisdom
By asking You for light

May truth expose all evil power
Protect us in Your loving will
Hold us in the life You give
In Your great love, our fear is stilled

Soft Whispers from

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son
into the world that we might live through him.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us
and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:7-11
