Haiti Jan 31st, 2010

I''ve entered a country torn by disaster
not knowing what to expect beyond the memories of once before.
I see the faces in so many broken places.

My heart is sadden, trying to hold back the tears,
the smell, the dirt, the death and especially the hurt
How can I help these people Lord?

We arrived at the orphanage, tents set up everywhere,
we the teams of Bethel and TDA
Looking forward to all God has in store
the miracles, the love, the open doors.

Where do I begin Lord show me the way
I want to show them your ways Lord,
You demonstration of healing power,
Your glory and mercy that overflows.

Helping the wounded, praying for that miracle you so freely give.
I lie awake at night and hear the cry of the baby that is burned,
the child whose legs are pinned together, in pain, and the
fear of the young ones.
You go in and hold them, give them their medications.
Where is there miracle Lord?

We all come together to evaluate what more can we do?
We see the garbage on the streets,
the people beggin for water, money and for food.

As I ride through town the smell is strong,
the garbage is piled high, then I realize
I am seeing a miracle!
A building collasped partially saved lives by chairs stacked high.
A miracle of the world coming together, in unity, to aid a torn country,
and children at play with smiles on their faces.
I see the doctors and nurses working hours on in to save a life
I see love, God's love so freely given for all to receive.

I asked you Lord to show me a miracle, but they were right there, right in
front of me, all the time.

You were right Lord when you told me, I would know what
to do in the moment I needed it.

You were right Lord when I was afraid and you said I would not be harmed.

You were right Lord when I questioned if I could do this,
and you said, I am carrying you.

Lord I dont always see things right away, but you never disappoint me.
