"Those 31 innocent lives"

God we know you are in
control of every situation,
and we wonder why you
would let such a wicked
thing to happen to
31 innocent lives.

But we in this difficult time,
can do nothing but put
our trust and strenght
towards you and your healing
hand to deliver us from this tragic
loss that this community is facing
right now.

We the viewers sat there in
front of our tv's and phones
to bare witness and to watch helplessly
as the waves over-came
that one single vessel carrying those 31 innocent
lives that we tragically
17 of those 31 innocent lives.

This is beyond our human
understanding, even I can't
fathom nor grasp what made
them want to go out there on
that water in the first place.

I know that the victims families are
wanting answers as to what
and why this happened to their
loved ones, the only thing I can say
to them is put your faith and trust in
God and he will provide you closure
and peace through your darkest moments.

God you are in control of every
situation that comes our way,
You tell us in your word that You
catch a sparrow when it falls, You
tell us in your word that
You can move mountains
so why this event what was the cause
of this the only thing we can do now is pray.
