“Dedicated to all the people of Japan”



IN TIMES OF DISBELIEF!


May Your mercy be with the deceased!

May Your grace to the living bring relief!

May Your mysteries be revealed to those that survived!

May Your miracles explain why they are alive!


O Lord! My sincere prayer this day

Is to sustain them in their dismay,

Send an overflowing basket of consolation

Revealing to them, Your Salvation!


The shaking ground brought disaster

With the tsunami that followed after,

Lord, sometimes I am at a loss

Trying to comprehend the human cost!


Omnipotent God who causes the mountain to smoke

In You, lies our dreams and every hope,

I know when this mortal life is over and done

In You, life would have just begun!

“We must go back now to the choice mercies of yesterday and light up the lamps of the past, for they shall glitter through the darkness and we must trust in the Lord, till the day break, and the shadows flee away!”
