Remembering

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

While men invade, and loot, oppress,
there will be times of war,
but then in war’s confusing mess,
misjudgments, hate occur.

And often wars become log-jammed,
and none can see a way
to bring back justice to the land,
– some turn to God and pray

an overruling providence,
to somehow turn the tide,
and heal the hatred by his grace
that peace once more abide.

As we remember lives so brave,
the sacrifice and pain,
we praise God for the times he’s saved,
and answered prayers again.

We pray for those so hurt by hate,
need help to cope, live on,
and pray he will men’s schemes frustrate,
when evil is begun.
