Extended down from heaven, two hands embrace the light 
Hovering over a city, where there's tragedy and strife 
Tenderly he touches, the face's stained with tears 
Cradling his loved ones, holding them all near 

On bended knee we raise our voices, as we gather in the light 
So many lost and injured Lord, so many cry in fright 
You said you'd never give us more than we could bear 
But now I need an answer Lord, why 2,801 died here 

Perhaps you were too busy and couldn't find the time 
What's that you say, you heard each and every cry ? 
You called out all the angels and they worked throughout the day 
Guiding your injured children through smoke and fire to find the way

You were there beside the pilots and the passengers in flight 
Busy with the terrorists, trying to make their hearts right 
You were needed by the mother that held her toddler close 
And the brave men on flight 93, each one of them hero's 

Thank you Lord for saving, each one that walked away 
Thank you for the strength that guided firefighters and police that day 
Thank you for the wounded, the hero's and their families 
Thank you for the many things that we forget to see 

Our flag still stands amid the rubble, fluttering in the breeze 
Our Nation stands behind it, even as we grieve 
We raise our voice in prayer, the pain deep in our souls 
Thank you Lord, for holding our hands so we can win this war.
