A Prayer for Oklahoma
Posted: May 26, 2013
Interceding for tornada victims…
It's not OK in OKC
for Moore is less (it seems to me).
Less joyful and less confident
that life will turn out good.
The winds of chance blew tragically
destroying much that used to be
and in the process stole the lives
of victims young and old.
As Oklahoma grieves its dead
and groans in unexpected dread,
a watching nation blinks back tears
and bends its knees in prayer.
O God, who hears each pleading cry
and aches with us when loved ones die,
be near to these who've lost it all
and must continue on.
Restore their will to stretch and reach.
Reveal Your truth to those who preach
that hope rekindled will renew
the faith of hurting souls.
