The wrong thing said,
The wrong thing done;
Quick tempers flash so hot,
Burning more than one.

Evil has reared its head,
The serpent has struck again;
I pray for peace...for patience,
I pray evil will not win.

Nerves are raw and souls are sore,
Healing will take some time;
But if all can remember THE WORD,
I know it will work out fine.

Forgiveness is the salve,
That heals the wounds of pain;
The Lord will heal and guide them
If they ask, that's quite plain.

Oh Lord, I ask you on this day,
To heal the wounds of those I love;
Dry their tears and soothe their hearts,
Send your graces from above.
