Amazing Grace Wash Over Me

A prayer for those who are in dispair along the Gulf Coast due to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion. A prayer for those who waited and their loved ones did not return, Amazing Grace Wash Over Thee. Amazing grace wash over me. My tears are a river to the sea. Lord above, we know you know, the oil that is washing upon our coast. Amazing grace wash over me, and lift my soul up to Thee. Lord above, hear my prayer, for those who are in dispair. Amazing grace wash over me. I lift my hands to God you see. My prayer for those who were hurt, and those who will never return to earth. Amazing grace wash over thee, families were left in disbelief. Empty hands, their loved ones gone, Lord Jesus, guide them safely Home. Amazing grace wash over me, the oil is filling up the sea, from Louisiana to Mississippi. Animals are dying, and people are crying. Amazing grace wash over me.
