Lion Heart

The world rages 'round us,
innocents turn prey.

A lion heart sustains us
While lambs are swept away.

There is no room for cowardice-
Bow the knee and pray.

A storm rapes towns and villages,
While millions watch and wait.

Strong of mind's grow weary
As hearts begin to quake.

Creatures flee the onslaught
Of nature's powers great.

Birds are tossed in flight
With Irma's cruelest bite.

Island men are breaking homes,
Looting precious things,

The basest of humanity, a
Lawlessness they bring.

No man's seen such fury
Strike so many ways.

People are foretelling
This is the end of days.

Brother cling to brother,
Husband hold your wife,

Mother, kiss your baby,
Until the storms abate,

We're thankful for the morning
When dawn breaks through the night

To see the end of suffering,
And most are spared their lives.
