Oh Father What Fear

OH FATHER WHAT FEAR
SONGWRITER: MIGDALIA TORRES


OH FATHER - OH FATHER
WHAT FEAR - WHAT FEAR
ON SEPTEMBER 11,2001
THE TERROR CAME NEAR

AS I SAT AND WATCHED HELPLESS
I SHED ALL THOSE TEARS, YOU SEE THERE
WAS SO MANY PEOPLE CRYING WITH FEAR

THE HELL OF THOSE TWO AIRPLANES FIRES
HAD MADE THE TWO TWIN TOWERS DISAPPEAR
ALL THOSE PEOPLE SCREAMING BROUGHT ABOUT ALL MY FEARS

THE DUST COVERED MOST OF DOWNTOWN NEW YORK CITY
WHAT LIES AHEAD WAS ONLY PANIC AND FEARS

OH FATHER-OH FATHER
I AM CALLING YOU TO SETTLE MY FEAR
I SEE MY FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS BODIES
AND BEGAN SCREAMING IN FEAR

YOU SEE I KNEW MY LOVE ONES
WE'RE WATCHING THE TWO TWIN TOWERS DISAPPEAR
I REACHED FOR MY CELL PHONE TO HEAR FOR THE LAST TIME
“I LOVE YOU” MY DEAR

AS MY LOVE ONE WAS CRYING AND SAYING HANG ON MY DEAR,
THERE WAS A LOUD RUMBLE AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS HERE

AFTER THE DUST HAD CLEARED AWAY
I SAW JESUS APPROACHING WITH HIS BAND OF ANGLES
TO SETTLE MY FEARS

O'LORD - GIVE US YOUR BLESSING AND CALM DOWN MY FEARS
FOR THIS IS WHAT I KNEW WHAT WAS TO HAPPEN FOR SO MANY YEARS

AS I LAY HERE UNDERNEATH THIS CRUMPLING BUILDING
PRAYING IN FEAR
I THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THOSE YEARS OF INSANITY, HATE, AND TERROR
THAT HAS HAUNTED ME IN THE NEWS FOR SO MANY YEARS

PLEASE LORD- OPEN THE GATES OF HEAVEN
FOR AS IN DEATH, I SHALL WALK YOUR PATH SO DEAR

OH FATHER- OH FATHER
PLEASE SEND AN ANGEL TO MY FAMILY AND REMIND THEM
I LOVE THEM ALL SO DEAR

TO FINALLY MEET MY DESTINATION IN JESUS LOVING ARMS
THAT’S THE PATH WHICH NOW APPEARS, BLESSED IS YOUR
KINGDOM IN HEAVEN FOR I SEE A RAY OF LIGHT; ALONGSIDE
A BED OF ROSES, WHICH TELLS ME DEATH IS FINALLY HERE

I FEEL WARMTH AND COMFORT NOW, I AM NO LONGER IN FEAR,
FAREWELL, TO ALL MY LOVE ONES
GOD BLESS YOU FOR ALL THE COMING YEARS
