A Prayer For Japan

Lord, look upon The people of Japan, Who’ve suffered ruin Across their land. Only You Can make a way. Provide their needs Every day. Food and shelter. Blankets and water. Restore the power That’s out of order. In light of so much Suffering and pain. Lord, please make Their purpose plain. For those enduring A loved-one lost, Help them, Father, To bear the cost. And those missing Who’re to be found, Preserve as rescuers Scour grounds. Cities ravished By the quake, And destroyed In the tsunami‘s wake: Sendai, Miyako, Hatori, Keota— Soma, Tokyo, Hashimoto. And all that aren't Mentioned by name, I pray for those Just the same. ©
