Dear Lord

"Golden Apple Tree"
by Atlanta Marie Carrera

Dear Lord, Dear Lord,
I don't know what to do.
Dear Lord, Dear Lord,
I can't believe it's true.

Dear Lord, Dear Lord,
Make anger go away.
Dear Lord, Dear Lord,
Tell me what to say.

Dear Lord, Dear Lord,
Give strength from up above.
Dear Lord, Dear Lord,
Please fill our hearts with love.

Dear Lord, Dear Lord,
Their souls are now released.
Dear Lord, Dear Lord,
Help us to find some peace.

(written after the bombing in Boston)

Lord, God of Mercy

"Cross of Gold"
by Atlanta Marie Carrera




 

Lord, God of Mercy,
I call upon You now.
I've tried it on my own
and missed the point somehow.

Lord, God of Mercy,
I have lost my way.
Show me how to find You.
Teach me how to pray.

Lord, God of Mercy.
I sing to You my song.
Bearing now my soul,
which You knew all along.

Lord, God of Mercy,
I give myself to You.
Born again this new day,
May Your will lead me through.

Lord, God of Mercy,
Lord God, Lord God,
Lord, God of Mercy,
Your love saves me now.
