A song

I got to share with my university church group tonight about my trip this summer to the tsunami affected area. I think it went really well. After I had shared, I showed a Power Point presentation and I sang a song I had written for that area. I thought I'd share the lyrics with you (even if you can't hear the music, you can try to imagine it!):

A world washed away
Leaving terror and great grief
I can hardly stand to look around
Heart wounds left open
And families left broken
Too much loss to understand

And I know, yes I know
That the God of the Ocean will wash away all their tears
And I know, yes I know
That seeds of salvation are being planted all around
And a harvest will arise from the now desolate ground

Oh send Your waves of mercy over this land
Send out earthquakes of Your love
Send out waves of righteousness from Your hand
And shower down peace from above
Send Your waves

As we gaze upon
All that must be done
Oh, Lord, what can we do?
Will we be faithful
And will we be truthful
When we say we’ll follow You?

Oh, I know, yes I know
That You want us to love and wash away all their tears
And I know, yes I know
That You want us to go, bringing hope in their pain
And You want us to be faithful to pray, and to pray
That You would...

Send Your waves of mercy over this land
Father, send out earthquakes of Your love
Send out waves of righteousness from Your hand
And shower down peace from above
Send Your waves

There are too many hearts left broken
God, how Your own heart must break
And I believe that You have spoken
To ask if we’ll love them for Your sake

Oh send Your waves of compassion over us
Shake us with earthquakes of Your love
Send us out on a mission from Your hand
To bring Your healing from above
Send out us
Send Your waves
Send out us
Let us be Your waves
