Dear Heavenly Father,
We are moved by the alarming news and crisis that our country is facing.
This, the greatest nation, is founded on the beliefs of
"In God We Trust" & the "Land of the Free".
Please have mercy on those suffering, hurting and in fear,
and give wisdom & strength to those who are assisting.
May the forces of evil be broken by your power
and may we humble before thee, our strength and refuge.
Give wisdom to our President & our leaders
and bring your comforting peace through the power of your Holy Spirit.
Help us here to reach to reach out to those that have been affected by this tragedy.
In the name of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
AMEN
BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE
The alarm goes off because terror has struck
And hundreds of brave men and women head for their trucks
As their red lights flashed and sirens sound
They arrived to find terrorized citizens rushing towards the ground
As smoke and fire filled a blue sunny sky
Millions of citizens watched in horror with tears in their eyes
Then hundreds of firefighters rushed inside
Unfortunately in minutes many of them would die
Now our nation must pray for the Lord to comfort all the souls
Of those the bravest of the brave for whom the final bell has tolled
IN HONOR OF OUR FALLEN HEROS
CRAIG MERCER

ALABAMA
If tomorrow all the things were gone, I'd worked for all my life
and I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today
cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
and I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me
and I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
cause there ain't no doubt....I love this land
God bless the USA
From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A.
where there's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say -
I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
and I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me
and I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
cause there ain't no doubt.......I love this land
God bless the USA.
