To the Innocents

To the Innocents

This world is an uncertain place.

We need God’s grace.

We need God’s calm.

We need His strong right arm.

When days are dark,

our way obscure,

we need God’s loving cure.

When nothing else makes sense,

we fall into God’s grace.

Covering our face, we ask why.

Lord, if ever there was a reason to cry,

you knew it as your boy began to die.

So help us now.  We sigh. We don’t

understand, but we try.
