I can see at a distance - heartaches, city ruins Devastations of good times once had - but yet I choose to gaze into the distant future Where I envision busy sidewalks, renovated buildings Smiling faces, instead

As I look into the barren streets Where now instead the stagnant waters flow I hear the moaning cries of people hurting so But yet, I choose to think about the day when Rescue comes my way, mending hurts Reuniting families again someday

As I see the helping hands of Angels mend The hurting hearts of those who've lost family and friends But yet, I can't help but wonder why Our Almighty Father allows his children to suffer and die But then I look into the past of years gone by Seeing how God, our Heavenly Father Allowed his very own son to die

So God, grant me the faith to better understand That my heartaches are a part of your great plan Help me be thankful of angels sent To aid me in my time of need, and not resent them Help me not blame others for my pain But rather give me the courage to accept what I can't change

Do not allow evil to devour me from within Leaving my doubting, weary soul darkened to sin For Satan preys on the weakened soul As it wallows in self-pity and grows cold So God, grant me the strength I need to carry on And the faith I need to mend So that I can take up my cross and follow you

In God's name I ask...

Amen
