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
