Heart for Haiti by Donna Hendrix For the people of Haiti my heart is filled with sorrow and pain We ask why did this happen; from so great a tragedy, what will we gain? Death and destruction lay all throughout the land Devastation so great that it impedes helping hands Anguished screams for help can be heard from within the rubble Help cannot get there fast enough to assist them through their trouble Some will perish while waiting for the rescuers and aid And many will survive in spite of their injuries and being afraid Great cries of mourning and agony fill the streets As the bodies of loved ones are left decaying in the heat The injured are left to make it on their own And I know in their hearts they must feel all alone Panic and turmoil race through the streets Desperation and fear will lead to feelings of defeat No food, no water, and no medical care Where will they sleep, what will they eat, so much sorrow to bear Even though hopelessness and despair have enveloped the Haitians Almighty God is with them and hears the pleas of their nation They will survive through the strength of our Lord from above And through the help of other countries and their heartfelt love We pray Father God that you will ease their suffering and sorrow And give them a ray of hope for a better tomorrow And we pray that you will embrace them in your strong loving arms And that you will stay beside them and keep them from further harm And we pray that for those who have gone to give aid That you will guide them safely through this country so frayed And clothe them in the light of your love to share with this wounded nation In hopes that many will be lead to eternal life and salvation. | |
