Lord, in your wisdom and your grace
Please let the oceans rest
Leave not one single soul displaced
By the end of this test
Please keep the Gulf Coast, high and dry
And spare the others, too
So all may bask beneath a sky
Of brilliant, crystal blue.
Lord, let the winds be calm and light
With no oppressive force
Devoid this world the saddened plight
Of nature’s brutal course
Please guide the seas by your own hand
Should trouble start to brew
And lead each storm away from land
‘Til this season is through.
Lord, in your mercy and your way
Please bless us in this time
With strength to face each coming day
Should there be hills to climb
Please keep the souls of all mankind
Held safely in your care
So no one shall be left behind –
This is my humble prayer.
