Sunday Morning

our enemy assails us

horrors surround us

we are bereaved

we stand within Your promise

yet grief mocks at our hope

oh God, our God!

You are our hope

You are our only hope

You alone

we are overwhelmed

unimaginable evil attacks

unbelievable hatred screams

did You not hold us

we would be destroyed

we hold out our desperate hands

we strain to hold the hem of Your robe

we rejoice in the comfort of Your embrace

oh God, our God

our strong and loving Father

hold us, safe

in Your great mercy

hold us, safe

amidst our grief

hold us, safe

let it not destroy our hope
