" YOU ARE SURVIVORS"
OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU
WE'VE WATCHED IN SHEER DISBELIEF
THE SIGHTS, SOUNDS, AND IMAGES WE SAW
FILLED US WITH SORROW AND HEART FELT GRIEF
LIKE YOU WE HEARD THE WARNINGS
THE THINGS THAT WERE BEING SAID
THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD HAVE KNOWN
"KATRINA", WOULD LEAVE SO MANY HURTING, HOMELESS, DEAD
WE WATCHED AND HEARD SO MANY STORIES
WE COULD NOT TURN AWAY
FEELING YOUR PAIN AND SORROW
WE CRIED OUT IN PRAYER EACH DAY
YOU FLED WITH LOVED ONES AND FEW BELONGINGS
LOOKING FOR SAFE SHELTER SOMEWHERE
UNCERTAIN ABOUT YOUR FUTURE
REALIZING YOU COULD NO LONGER STAY THERE
YOU WERE DIRECTED TO THE SURROUNDING CITIES
AND GOT THERE HOWEVER YOU COULD
MANY PERILS AROSE ALONG THE WAY
TIRED WEARY WORN AND TORN YOU ARRIVED
LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO STAY
NOW THE STORM IS OVER
THERE'S MUCH WORK TO BE DONE
WE ARE HERE TO ASSIST YOU
AND ADDRESS YOUR NEEDS ONE BY ONE
YOU ARE "SURVIVORS"
WE EMBRACE AND WELCOME YOU
YOUR STRENGTH AND COURAGE IS AMAZING
WE THANK GOD FOR EACH ONE OF YOU
YOU CAN DEPEND ON US
TOGETHER WE'LL FACE EACH DAY
BELIEVING OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE A WAY.
