After The Pain Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

AFTER THE PAIN by Kathryn Tyler King 2/16/2018 (After the Lakeside Shooting)

Lord, You said You'd never leave. Lord how could this happen.
Many people, many lives once living, now taken.
Lord Your goodness and Your love heal our hearts are
broken.
Help this country turn to You, the only true and living
God.

Your ways are higher, higher than ours.
Your ways are wiser and wiser by far.

Send Your Spirit to encourage and strengthen
We don't deserve Your love, forgive our every sin.
Lord Your Word it comforts us. Lord we seek Your
guidance.
Many people everywhere are frightened and shaken.
Lord Your goodness and Your love bring us peace
unbroken
Help us Lord to come to You, the only true and living
God.
