God in this struggle


God is right with us
as a nation, as a people
the shifting sand 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 us up Lord,
our neighbors who are hurting,
send healing rain
the power to sooth them
send life-giving water
the Spirit, the Word
May we hold fast to your path
our way through this world
