A Quiet Call for Help

I adore you, Lord, for all the works of Your hands

For You've spread infinite beauty over these lands

All these things remind me how beautiful You are

And Your glory shines the brightest among the stars

Your greatness emboldens me to converse with You

Doing such is my heart's pleasure and desire, too

In You, I find everything that my heart desires

Here, Your light that illumines my mind transpires

I am asking for forgiveness for I have sinned

All because I would always act undisciplined

O Lord, please have mercy and pity upon me

Wash me, cleanse me; from evil thoughts, let me be free

However, at the same time, I want to thank You

For You're the one I know I can always lean to

God of all blessings, source of life, giver of grace,

I thank You for the love that no one can outpace

Lord God, my countrymen have suffered recently

It hurts me knowing that they feel so hopelessly

This prayer I utter is how I ask for cure

The reason for them to feel like safe and secure

Saying these kinds of words is what I can do best

For the people who had been through the hardest test

May the souls of the people who died rest in peace

And the grief they have in their hearts may be released

Even though they have experienced something like this,

I believe that in the end they will feel a bliss

This devastation swiftly left them with nothing

But as long as we have You, we have EVERYTHING

AMEN.
