Haiti's Hope

Haiti's Hope Prayers fly like the eagle
In the face of devastation
Praise resounds through a nation
On street corners surrounded by death

Tears are shed for the fallen
Laughter rings out for the living
Strength to face desolation
Joy for days that will come

The spirit of overcoming
Strong throughout the pain
Lives in the heart...s of the people
Fighting for another day

Hope rises every morning
With wonder in their eyes
That breath still keeps them going
In the horrors that abound

A cry from under the rubble
Digging till the ground is red
Hope won't be forsaken
For survival will always endure

Haiti will rise from the ashes
To shine in honor and grace
Trust she places in the Savior
That He will provide for their needs
