Title: A Prayer for Haiti Post by: Ras Rebel on January 24, 2010, 11:33:04 PM This is a prayer to the Most High
To the Most High of the Most High Hear the people cry We are pleading to the Most High The Most High of the Most High Hear the people cry Many days the people suffer No food no water Many children orphaned No Mother no Father The widows them weary Don’t know if they make it any farther They pray for strength to face tomorrow amidst towns drowned in sorrow Crumbled by an earthquake How much more can Haiti take? In 1804 Toussaint L'Ouverture Lead revolutionary war to break the chains of slavery in this former French Colony Standing firm without apology through oppression and poverty The Haitian spirit triumphed industrious and defiant Now in the face of destruction The people hold faith for reconstruction The rebuilding of a nation A symbol of liberation That’s what it means to be Haitian A people rocked by devastation yet patient and resilient singing freedom songs in Creole accent So many put in a casket even more in mass graves these are troubling days Heaven the people are in trouble Men Women and Children all buried in the rubble lives shattered, dreams distorted, futures forever altered buildings broken, collapsed, and deconstructed, left smoldering devastation, desperation, and death in the rubble Heaven the people are in trouble They need your healing spirit Speak to the conscience of those with means to help and may they adhere it Bless the people of Haiti Give them love and grace Bless them oh Most High Hear the people cry Heaven the people are in trouble Give them peace, Give them strength Give them faith in their struggle Let them rise through the rubble Let them rise Let them rise ~Ras Rebel I~ |
