Oh, Lord, I Must Talk With You

Oh, Lord, I Must Talk With You Oh, Lord, I must talk with you. Are your tears ever dry? How do you wait to end it all, And bring Your Glory to the sky? I cannot cry as others die, So frozen am I by the horror Of yesterday and its tomorrow, Of goodbyes, closed eyes. To hate with guns, and nothing done By those who have the power. You, who were Peace who walked your earth, Must be pouring an ocean of tears this hour. For when your world was made, its foundation laid, You had hope for your children’s choices, And as we have learned some children spurn, And Your hope seems stifled by strident voices. So we who pray, bow our knees today, To hope in You who know the answers, While our hope is flawed, we beg your intervention, We have lost our way from Your intentions. Please, Dear Lord, start to clean our hearts. Take away the world’s evil inventions.

Satan is in season. I see America as the New Babylon. I see fulfillment of things prophesied in the word. Remain in prayer. Powerful piece!

It's sad to know what had happened in the US, and Not quite sure if the president of the United States alone can have enough rights to ban guns...

He could certainly be a strong influence but he won't be - he is not anti-gun.

Inspiring, profound and touching poem dearest, Sunlite! So horrible news that will take more than prayers to eradicate evil. I was surprised to find out that in USA more people have been killed by handguns in the last 70 years than all soldiers since 1776! God bless you!

Those numbers must not include the wars, and are not quite as bad as they sound. Remember we were a young nation with Cowboys and Indians. I grew up inn El Paso, the "wild" west. But I do not defend guns!!!!

I spent my childhood in El Paso. The TV pictures have brought back memories.
