Prayer for Connecticut Families and Community

Oh Lord our hearts are broken
With the violence today
Innocent lives were taken
While at their school and play

Please send the victims angels
To hold them in their sorrow
Let not the evil over come them
But build their hope for tomorrow

Send them peace that is from above
And help them know you have their children
You have embraced them in your love
And welcomed them into heaven.

They are in a place free from fear
Where your presence does abound
They are sheltered in your arms tonight
Forever safe and sound.

And so we turn our thoughts and prayers
To those they left behind
We put our faith in your Almighty Love
And with the ties that bind.

Let us be your hand of care
Reaching to their broken heart
Let us weep as one with them
And May your healing start

Lord, As a nation we kneel to you
As we’ve lost these precious ones
We ask for healing in our land
And may your will be done.

Jeff Dyk
