A Prayer for Texas Flood of Tears

My heart is broken for our dear Texan dears Happy campers Then flash flood washed way in earth's tears Words escape me as I write my heart That grieves with you whose hearts are torn apart The yellow rose of each precious soul A childhood dream was summer camp's goal And oh, the glorious Fourth of July Turned from delight to "Oh, Dear God, why?" What words could I lend to each of you I pray that God will see you through In tears I reach across the miles That somehow God would gift you smiles Of those who now in heaven's wake Above the heartache's of sorrow's quake Gaze in glorious wonder and awe At Christ Himself and angels they saw Far beyond earth's pain and deception The safe Haven of Heaven's purest joy and elation Father God, comfort dear Texas tonight Give them heavenly visions God, hold each soul tight In Heavenly Father's sweet loving arms Above sorrow and pain and earths Flash flooding harms Please hold them dear Father, All those mourning here Give them comforting visions Holy Spirit, draw near Far above sorrow of valley and glen Our prayers reach to heaven Again, and again I pray Thee, send comfort In Your Name Lord Amen
