On days such as today,
We turn to You…
We turn to You…
העושה שלום בשמיים ובארץ,
The One who makes peace in
the heavens and on the earth…
The One who makes peace in
the heavens and on the earth…
And we tremble.
Not in awe,
but in fear.
but in fear.
As skies fill with violence,
and our families are buried deep in the ground,
in shelters and hoped-for safety…
and our families are buried deep in the ground,
in shelters and hoped-for safety…
We wonder.
What words of prayer
might You accept.
might You accept.
What can we do
besides cry,
trembling in fear…
besides cry,
trembling in fear…
Those who may make peace,
Politicians,
Generals,
Generals,
Hear our cries,
remove your hand from the trigger,
and with us,
remove your hand from the trigger,
and with us,
Cry.
Ask,
How did we arrive here?
How did we arrive here?
What is the path home?
Out from our buried place?
To Peace?
Out from our buried place?
To Peace?
To You, The One Who Makes Peace?
