Dear Father, please hear our prayer,
Please ease the pain; our hearts repair.
So many lost their lives today;
Smoke filled the air, our sky turned gray.

Horrendous acts of lust and greed,
Free us from this pain we plead.
Please guide us with your tender touch,
We need you God, You are our crutch.



The acts of evil displayed this day,
Caused fear, hate and much dismay.
These acts cannot be justified;
As we watched and saw the planes collide.

Our country, they tried to destroy
Did it give them pleasure? Did they enjoy?
The bloodshed caused on September 11;
Do they now feel they'll go to heaven?



Please, Dear God, show them they’re wrong,
That our country is much too strong.
Let them know "In God We Trust",
And what they've done is so unjust.

We'll fly our flags; We proudly stand,
In this free country, our great land.
Bless America, Oh Father, we pray
The flags that wave on this sad day.
