God in this struggle – v2



God is right with us
as a nation, as a people
shifting sands of time
the hurt in the fabric

God in this struggle
to help and to comfort
together we must bow and pray
for his holy purpose

Lift them up Lord,
our neighbors who are hurting,
send healing rain
power to sooth them

Send life-giving water
the Spirit, the Word;
May we hold fast to your path
our way through this world
