Devastation in Haiti

Devastation in Haiti
Samaritan's Purse in Haiti

and what can you do
when everything is gone
and there is nothing left
nothing to return to
nowhere to go from here
and all you have is tears

children are gone
they couldn't hang on
and the waters swept them away...

and my light and momentary troubles
are exposed for what they are
my needs and sorrows
shown to be so small

how can you close your eyes
turn the page and say good-bye
send the images away
hope it will turn out okay
"go be warmed and filled"
I hope somebody will
go help and comfort you
but I've got other things to do

good-byes

Someday in Heaven there will be no good-byes
no more silent cries
no more going away
until another day
no more good-byes

do you ever wonder if it's worth the pain
to love a lot
only to have to leave again?

...yet I gain more than I've lost
it's always worth the cost
