Nine Dear Souls
Nine Dear Souls
Nine dear souls went to worship and pray,
They all met Jesus the very same day.
They showed God's love and embraced a stranger,
One full of hate and so much anger.
Nine souls with Jesus so happy and free,
Families and Nation with so much grief.
Our hearts are broken and may never mend,
Such evil and hatred, will there be no end.
We ask if God has removed His hand,
But, why oh God, we're a Christian land.
In truth, it's your children who forced you away,
Forgive us Lord, and with us stay.
Fill our hearts, oh Lord, with love for all people,
May we all come together, under one steeple.
With hearts and hands joined together,
Let's wipe out hatred and evil forever.
I will honor nine lives by the way I live mine,
And teach my grand's with the passage of time.
One people, one race, regardless of color,
What matters most is love for each other.
