Hymn - Great God your love has held our lives
NEW HYMN FOR THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD TRADE
CENTER
Great God your love has held our lives
across the years down to this day.
Your constant presence held us fast:
remain with us we plead and pray.
We watched the towers, we saw the flame,
the clouds of dust swept down the street;
we heard the voices that we loved
and cried for those we’d no more meet.
As time moves on some memories fade,
the grief we shared lies in the past,
for others pain is just as sharp,
this present hurt will always last...
Tune: JERUSALEM (Parry)
Commissioned by Dean McIntyre (United Methodist Church (USA)) for the 10th
Anniversary of the destruction of the World Trade Centre
