A Prayer for Texas Flood of Tears


                My heart is broken for our dear Texan dears

                                     Happy campers 

                             Then flash flood washed way 

                                      in earth's tears


                     Words escape me as I write my heart

            That grieves with you whose hearts are torn apart

             
                    The yellow rose of each precious soul

              A childhood dream was summer camp's goal 

                    And oh, the glorious Fourth of July

               Turned from delight to "Oh, Dear God, why?"

              
                     What words could I lend to each of you

                       I pray that God will see you through

                         In tears I reach across the miles 

                    That somehow God would gift you smiles

                        Of those who now in heaven's wake

                     Above the heartache's of sorrow's quake

                          Gaze in glorious wonder and awe

                       At Christ Himself and angels they saw

                       Far beyond earth's pain and deception

                       The safe Haven of Heaven's purest joy

                                          and elation


                      Father God, comfort dear Texas tonight

                               Give them heavenly visions

                                God, hold each soul tight

                      In Heavenly Father's sweet loving arms

                          Above sorrow and pain and earths 
       
                                   Flash flooding harms


                            Please hold them dear Father, 

                               All those mourning here

                            Give them comforting visions

                                Holy Spirit, draw near

              
                        Far above sorrow of valley and glen

                            Our prayers reach to heaven

                                    Again, and again

                              I pray Thee, send comfort

                                  In Your Name Lord                                 

                                            Amen
