How Could It Happen In Charleston
How Could It Happen in Charleston?
What if I were there when it happened that day
Pleasant people in a church had to pass away
Reason for this none of us might not ever know
To whole community, he committed a big blow.
From oldest to youngest to heaven have gone
And only pictures of them can we look upon;
He was determined to use total deception
So by church members would receive a reception.
Out of all the people what if we were to be one
And this deadly deed to us had been done
While in pity our friends continued to wallow
But still God in heaven they continue to follow.
God please do have mercy on their each soul
In life, each one had met their death noll
And to heaven forever each one has retired
After terrible thing that recently transpired.
While here on earth with spirits so weak
Both God and His Son we will always seek
With our weekly worship and in each prayer
People throw flowers in tribute everywhere.
