Haiti

One wants to write and comment on the situation in Haiti, but there just aren't words one can say in response to this tragedy. I just want to share here the refrain and one verse from the song, "Lord, listen to your children praying." Praying is all I can do and that is all that most folks in this ravaged country can do.

"Lord, listen to Your children praying,
Lord, send Your spirit in this place;
Lord, listen to Your children praying,
Send us love, send us power, send us grace!

Something's gonna happen
Like the world has never known
When the people of the Lord
Get down to pray.
A door's gonna swing open,
And the walls come a tumblin' down,
When the people of the Lord
Get down to pray.
O when the people of the Lord,
O the people of the Lord,
When the people of the Lord
Get down to pray.

"All the people sang:
Lord, listen to Your children praying,
Lord, send Your spirit in this place;
Lord, listen to Your children praying,
Send us love, send us power, send us grace!
