God Will Prevail - "The Victim's Anthem"



When the dust has settled and the rubble's cleared,
And, the hole that's left was all we feared;
When the strength of man has finally failed...
God, Will Prevail !

When the last poor soul's been laid to rest,
In this sea of tears and endless lists;
That, is when you'll see her rise above...
God, Will Prevail !


For,

Freedom...Still Rings...Through This Land !
America,
Forever...Will Stand...In God's Hands!
And,
When The Strength Of Man
Finally...Fails,
God, Will Prevail !


Though all the walls have crumbled and fall down,
As our dreams lie scattered on this ground;
You will see her rise from bended knees...
God, Will Prevail...Again !


For,
Freedom...Still Rings...Through This Land !
America,
Forever...Shall Stand...In God's Hands !
As We Soar,
Through The Skies...You Will See,
That,
America's...Still Brave;
She'll Still Fight
For...Liberty !


But, if America, should ever, fail...
God's Will, Prevail !

IF I KNEW...

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time
I could spare an extra minute,
to stop and say "I LOVE YOU"
instead of assuming you would know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an overnight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you",
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day.

That you didn't take extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank You," or "It's OK"
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand

And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love

But when I walked through Heaven's gates
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne

He said, "This is eternity
And all I've promised you
Today for life on earth is past
But here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past."

So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart.
