In the Midst of the Madness

Again and again uncertainty fills the mourning air
Another warning goes out and another terrible scare
The attacks like birth pangs get worse and worse
Murderous suicide attackers daily add to the curse

In the midst of the madness God loves them all
Jesus continues to reach and continues to call
In the country where sin seems to grow and abound
God's grace and love is greater and is all around

As the lone woman weeps over the loss of her family
She remembers her mother's hug and her daughter's glee
She is blessed as the people of God reach out and comfort her
For God's love is manifest when we work together

     In the midst of the madness and mania of the day
     This too shall pass as the revelation of Jesus as Messiah
                                                  shows He is the way
