A "911" Call To God

As the World Trade Centers crumbled, our lives were crumbled too, So God, We're dialing 911 - "We need to talk to you!"
We tried to see your face today, but God we could not see, The smoke and fire engulfed us, we scream, "Who can this be?"
We're watching now with horror, God, as thousands lose their lives, At the hands of cold blood killers, using planes that fly our skies.
We're weeping, praying, crying God, our faith in You now wanes, Where were you God this morning? Who piloted those planes?
We know you love America, you've blessed us many ways, But God, this scene is so surreal, the world is in a daze.
This Nation's "Under God," you know, so will you please come near, We need to feel your presence, Lord, our lives are filled with fear.
We need your guidance now, Oh Lord, we simply cannot cope, This tragedy has ripped away, our life, our love, our hope.
And God, these loved ones left behind, need strength beyond compare, Their lives are shattered, all is gone, please show them that you care.
Please put your arms around them, draw them close unto your breast, Heal their wounds and mend their hearts, hold them high above the rest.
As you summon Heavens angels, to prepare them for the day, And you wait at Heaven's portal for our loved ones on their way,
Will you please be sure to tell them that their lives were not in vain, That freedom's bells though silenced, will surely ring again.
We know your heart is heavy too, as you stand at Heaven's door, And watch these deadly scenes unfold, through hate we so deplore.
Yes...
Though freedom's bells were silenced for a moment on this date, They will ring out loudly once again, as love outweighs the hate.

God's Reply:

I received your 911 call today, I heard it loud and clear. Come into my arms, dear child, and tell me in my ear.
You could not see my face you say? Well, child, where did you look? I was there inside your heart as I promised in my Book.
What has happened to your lives you may never understand. But rest assured that nothing happens that is not within My plan.
That you could not tell where I was-- I truly do regret. But, I was busy comforting lives on four ill-fated jets.
I loved your Founding Fathers, that certainly is true. And in the days and weeks that follow, you will see I love you too.
I love you as my children and will shield you from all others And if you want to feel my presence you need only comfort another.
Fear not for I shall guide your paths from the heavens up above And soon shall you re-discover your lives, and hope and love.
Those who need strength in this day of mourning-they only need draw near.To comfort and strengthen and love-for that I will always be here.
My arms are already around you all, before you even asked. And they will be in the future as they have been in the past.
Make ready to receive those on the way? That is what I'm told. Fear not, dear child, for those you lost are already within my fold.
And worry not-no one on my earth will ever die in vain. I know that may be hard to understand, given all your pain.
My heart was very heavy as I watched your world get rocked. But rest assured, dear child, that your God shall not be mocked.
Though evil triumphed yesterday for quite an amount of time, Its days are immediately numbered for vengeance will always be mine.
