~ Tsunami ~



A single moment and darkness rolled in
Life paused, not for moments, but for ever,
Still to stare into the unknown
For danger ravaged on our own.

Deep cries pierce the silent empty night
Where there is no light,
Only sad grief to roll on and on
Where there is nothing left to fight.

And yet, how shall we pray far away
When in our hearts the words just die,
We but gaze at the desolate sorrow
Gentle tears are all we cry.

We want to ease the suffering and grief.
Helpless, we pray it be so,
Lord Jesus, send Your angels as You will
You alone know where to go.

Touch each grieving soul with Your light
Fill that empty loss within,
With no-where else to turn
You alone, know the miracles to bring.

To every heartbroken mother, every father
The lost, the wounded, little ones alone,
Thankyou for every tiny precious angel
You carried safely to Your home.

Impart to all those working day and night
Wisdom, protection, and the strength to give,
Pour loving relief in everywhere
To all those crying out to live.

Dear Father turn the waters back at Your command
Shine Your warmth down from above,
Cleanse the pain and wash away the fear
Fill inconsolable hearts with Your eternal love.

God is our refuge and strength
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Psalm 46:1-3

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid
or terrified, for the Lord your God
goes with you; He will never leave you or
forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6

As for me, I will call upon God;
and the LORD shall save me.
Evening, and morning, and at noon,
will I pray, and cry aloud:
and He shall hear my voice.
Psa 55:16-17
