Lost Astronauts
Lost Astronauts
Another black day in our land;
Our hearts are filled with grief.
There is only one place to turn,
To find needed relief.
Dear God please meet them at Your gates
They dared to reach so high.
Is mankind growing much too bold;
Are we not meant to fly?
Our president has said it well.
“We didn’t see them land,
We know they have gone on to home”.
Someday we’ll understand.
You gave us need and ambition
In our short lives to find
The key to all the mysteries
Created by your Mind.
Please bless our earnest endeavors
To do the best we know
To get where we are going.
Where you would have us go..
We ask protection for the ones
Who carry out the plan
That You have firmly planted in
Resourceful mind of man.
Our nation is in deep mourning
Our hearts are full of pride,
For each of those brave pioneers,
Who dared to reach and died.
