Matthew 5 New International Version

Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.


I saw the news today

a soldier taking a girl away

parading her as a trophy

too common today


Using the vulnerable

to proclaim ultimate power

a weak man who is a coward

capturing a spirit to devour


There is much mourning

from family and friends

others in the world join them

praying for the end


United together

our spirits fly high

counteracting the evil of cowards

love does not die


Comfort comes

the Lord give us grace

I prayed that this girl’s life be spared

that she and others see His face
