As the anniversary of the 9-11 terror attack approaches, may we all say this prayer....

IN MEMORY OF 9-11

Lord, help us never forget
The tragedy of that day.
Help us always be on alert
For those who destroy Your ways.

For You were a founding Father
Of this country strong and free!
You were a mighty tower
For leaders who depended on Thee.

You were a definite Voice
For those who relied on You.
Though it be hard at times
We're a country "Under God" it's true!

We will defend this precious land
And all that happens here...
May we never forget Sept. 11th
And all the resulting tears.

Give us strength, O God above
In all we are yet to do.
Protect our soldiers one and all
May they all stand "Under You".

As they defend our freedom
And fight to the bitter end,
May it be a tribute to all
Who perished at the towers' end.

Not only those in the towers,
But also Pentagon and Philly field...
Give us resolve to move beyond
And never to terror yield!
