Is this my Hometown
18 Dead 13 injured

Is this my Hometown? Where darkness and evil lurk around

Once a very calm and safe place for you and me
Now, turning into a grief-stricken bloody sea

The devil is on the prowl, knowing time is short
Fighting evil with Good gives much support

The only fear we have to fear is fear itself
Arming myself with Love from the Master Himself

Calmness and peace will protect my divine soul
Where there is the light of Love, evil can not take control

The cold winds blow to and fro
Over the planes from long ago

The cold used to make me shake and shiver
It got inside me and my heart would quiver

Then, one day, I found a warm cover
My cold, long days were instantly over

My heart is warmed by a blanket of love
Sent by His Only Son Jesus from God above

Beyond the Sunrise is a promise of a new day
Praising Him all day long as I continue on my way

He walks with me and talks with me bringing peace into my heart
Bowing my head Thanking Him for His Son Jesus and all the Blessings He will impart

Sticking with it night and day
Things don't always go my way

Sticktoitnivess and perseverance is the answer I must say

Never give up never give up you'll be a winner at the end of the day

I was put here for a reason 

My life is but a reason only known to God
Reveling more and more every day, I trod

My life is but a mystery for only God, and I to see
Walking with Him makes the answer clearer to me

Thank you, God, for Your Creation and including me
Spreading The Good News of Jesus for others to see

I have found my reason, Thank You for Setting Me Free

The very best and worst of humankind  
seem to collide at the identical time. 

Where there is a horrible affliction
Good rushes in to bring protection

When grief overtakes us, and we begin to cry
Friends walk with us, wiping tears from our eye 

As we slowly move along the timeline of our life
Looking back, seeing the meaning of our strife

All the threads in God's ultimate plan
Sewn together, completing every man

Ultimately, our very best is stitched by our very worst
Completing our character that our souls may not thirst

Where the winds blow, I seem to drift along
Not giving a thought, always singing a song

Making the best wherever I might land
On the plains or a sea by the sand 

Happiness comes from my heart within 
Not from surroundings I find myself in

We are born to die physically in this world of sin
Only for my spirit to live eternal by inviting Jesus in

As my body grows weak and weary, my spirit grows eternally strong
I bow my head and Praise Him forever and forever, all day long
