O Lord, we lift our hearts today, For Texas families lost in dismay. Some seek the ones they cannot find Their faces etched within their mind.
Hold every heart that waits and weeps, While hope still stirs in shadows deep. Guide every search, each rescue call, And catch the tears that gently fall.
For those who mourn, whose hearts now break, Wrap them in peace that none can fake. Let comfort rise through sorrow’s storm, And love, not loss, become the norm.
We thank You for the brave and strong, The first responders who rush along Through flood or flame, through fear and night, They move with mercy, fueled by light.
So hear our prayer, both loud and still, And give this weary land Your will. Let healing come, let hope restore And bring the missing safely to the door.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
