Shattering sounds of terror,
Chants that echo through the air,
Racing feet across the desert—
Who will save us?

Hearts broken by loss,
Houses burnt from hate,
Tension worn like a cloak,
Peace now feels like a dream.

Those who swore to protect us
Now dine with our captors;
Our pain is undermined,
Our joy feels far away.

Life feels lifeless.

Save us, Lord us
Save us with the strength of Your arm.
