Remembering 9-11

It was ten years ago the planes crashed and the twin towers fell

Plunging thousands into eternity – some Heaven and some Hell

A decade later tears still fall and loved ones continue to grieve

Countless prayers have been offered to cope and find relief

God the question has been asked where were you on that day

The message of redemption in the steel cross you had to say

You drew your children into life everlasting when tragedy hit

You gave the grieving the grit to finish though easier to quit

You gave courage to the fire fighters to rescue those in need

You gave compassion to those treating wounds stopping the bleed

You were wisdom to our leaders valiantly leading the cause

You rallied a nation with the “We will never forget” clause

You comforted the dazed, wounded, broken, and confused,

You remained steadfast by the dying offering your refuge

You displayed mercy and offered your salvation through grace

To all who trusted you to forgive making righteous through faith

You strengthened warriors to stand against the evil of our age

You brought peace to those consumed and overcome with rage

In countless ways you worked that day none us will ever forget

Loving, strengthening, consoling those who live with regrets

You drew the souls into eternity that fateful September morn

You embraced those who trusted you and had been twice born

A decade has come and gone since that tragic horrific day

In the aftermath you are still rule and have the last say
