	Lord,
	look beneath our tears,
	And broken hearts;
	As we weigh our country's fate.
	And through our tears and anger,
	Help us dismantle
	Our engine's of hate.
	
	Grant us wisdom
	Within each new day,
	To be tolerant toward those we meet.
	Defiling not innocence
	As we right this wrong,
	Placing responsibility at culpable feet;
	
	For Lord,
	lives will be infinitely changed,
	Grand eulogies only tranquilize our pain.
	We look once again,
	In prayer, to You,
	That our losses, we pray, be Heavens gain.
	
	Let not us panic,
	Nor become as critiques,
	Of America and her resolve to defend;
	But make common
	Our passion for Jesus,
	For on none other does it depend.
