The Finish Line (Boston Marathon 2013)
(written by, Candice Landis 4/15/2013)
Once Again Tragedy Struck In America Today
The Boston Marathon Was Bombed In A Tragic Display
The World Watched As The Injured Were Carried Away
Leaving Behind Blood Stained Sidewalks Where They Had Lain
We Don't Understand Why These Things Are Allowed To Take Place
We Close Our Eyes In Sorrow And To Jesus We Pray
Please Help These People As Best You Can
Please Guard Them Against The Evils Of Their Fellow Man
Please Welcome With Open Arms The Ones You Took Home Today
Please Watch Over The Ones They Left Behind And Guard Their Faith
Please Help Us Find The Ones Responsible And Put Them Away
There Is No Earthy Reason That Could Ever Merit What Happened Today
Dear Jesus What Is Happening To Us Here On Earth
So Many Sencless Violent Deaths Of Innocent People Have Occurred
So Many Do Evil Work And Pay No Attention To Your Word
I Pray Every Day That Your Voice Is Heard
Please Watch Over Us Savior And Keep Us Safe
When Tragedy Strikes Please Fill Us With Your Grace
God Bless Everyone Today Who Finished Life's Race
One Day We Will Meet Them Again In Heaven, Face To Face
