You're a woman..You're a man

  

YOU'RE A WOMAN... YOU'RE A MAN

LETS GATHER TOGETHER HAND IN HAND


 

God bless the children who suffer today
for some are lost, can't find their way.
Mother's are gone, father's disappeared,
Lost and crying, so many tears.

Heal the hurting, heal the bruised.
Lord, many children have gone with you,
Comfort and guide them to a hand,
You're a woman, You're a man.

Hold them tight as if your own,
raise them up, sing them song..
Cradle them in your loving arms,
comfort them from all their harms

Sadness and grief upon their face...
Bless them with your loving grace.
Poor forlorn children, born of love
Have lost their family, to the heavens above.

Hold them tenderly in your touch,
they need your love, they need so much.
Poor children of Haiti who lost their life
How do we soothe all their strife.
 

God bless the children and all who hurt,
Give comfort and love for all it's worth
Now is a time to love one another,
Hold a sister, hold a brother.

Love a child, hold their hand,
You're a woman, you're a man.

Gather together for all of mankind,
For here is where their hearts meet mine

your (sic) you're

Love a child, hold their hand, You're a woman, you're a man. Says it all. The rest of the content raises some difficult questions about the nature of an interventionist god. Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible

with the lilt of the cradle rocking

Oh how eloquently you campaign for the people of Haiti, with the lilt of the cradle rocking you tell us of compassion and well-wishing, how we all suffer the blows of nature together, we are so helpless in her rumblings, 'she' oblivious of the harm 'she' does. Well put dear Mona of the Everglades, the twilight of life's mysteries is unfathomable. I understand your prayer. Ann of Norway with LOVE.
