Rise Up

Take me away dear Father
far, far away.

Let me not see
the sadness this way.

Let me not take
the sorrow to heart.

Let me rise up and
do my part.

Let me see past
all the evil this day.

And see all the good
and do it Your way.

Let me see love
and Your saving grace.

Let me see mercy
do not turn away.

Oh, Father, the
sadness that grips us today.

Let us use it to turn
to You and see Your face.

Let us turn not away,
Abba Daddy.

But to You, instead,
let us run to Your
arms and Your warm embrace.

Let us touch Jesus
and see His sweet face.

We as a people must fall to our knees

We as a people must stand and grieve

To rise up again as the eagle in flight
and soar on the wings of God in this fight.

Let us band together hand in hand
And take back what is Gods all
of the lands.

Let not the evil arise in us too,
but purge us from sin
and from doubting what's true.

Oh Abba Father,
the sadness this day.

Let us rise up above it
in Your loving way.

Amen

"Rise Up" comes to us following the Tragedy of September 11, 2001

Twin Towers Picture: Photographer Unknown. This picture was taken by a guy returning on a cruise this past summer (July 28, 2001). It is a sunrise over lower Manhattan. HE Writes: "As I watched the beautiful skyline of New York City float past me I noticed the sun was about to line up just behind the twin towers. I was lucky enough to snap the picture at exactly the right moment. If you look at the sun rays it is almost prophetic. - a little spooky. When I show this picture to anyone they almost always asks for a copy. I just want to share it with all who want it. Please take this picture and share it with anyone and everyone who likes it."
