Christ Was Already There

Christ Was Already There

Even before the rumbles

the shuttering of the ground

before the tragedy of the quake

all falling down

Christ was already there

working in that place

hands and feet of God

serving our brothers, our sisters

in little acts of grace

Some even falling,

dying in that land

that moment holy

finding eternity,

sacred ground

More to do, so much more

where but in prayer must we start

offering love, from around the world

to lift these people up
