a prayer for policemen and firemen
soldiers and pedestrians

what is light
in light

in light

in all in awe in all

set down
rest now

so...

so
you settle down now

rest now and be
and be
and be here
so be near
so start

so light like of God
do not take what is my heart
that you will stay here
so staying near
new york

light
light in all
set down rest down
set down rest now
and be here
be near me
light hand of God
dear God...
protect us with your thought
in God that i would trust
this One and i should know

as i could see such love
kept fact unto my heart
this One that shields me in this moment One is found...

and how i love this moment
and knowing God to witness
so love us
God
love this world

let peace
within
be soon
