The Angels Cried
I remember the day before it happened
The rain fell down, cleansing the city
Just another rainy day
As we went about our lives
If we could have this day back again Would we have done anything different
If we had known
If only we had known
Chorus
But Heaven knew
What was going to happen
The gates were open wide
To welcome thousands
It wasn’t just
Another rainy day
For on the day before it happened
The angels cried
I remember the morning that it happened
The sky was clear, the sun so bright
Then the world came crashing down
And so many lives were lost
If we could have this day back again
Would we have done anything different
If we had known
If only we had known
Chorus
But Heaven knew
What was going to happen
The gates were open wide
To welcome thousands
It wasn’t just
Another rainy day
For on the day before it happened
The angels cried
I remember the day before it happened
The rain fell down, cleansing the city
Just another rainy day
As we went about our lives
If we could have this day back again Would we have done anything different
If we had known
If only we had known
Chorus
But Heaven knew
What was going to happen
The gates were open wide
To welcome thousands
It wasn’t just
Another rainy day
For on the day before it happened
The angels cried
I remember the morning that it happened
The sky was clear, the sun so bright
Then the world came crashing down
And so many lives were lost
If we could have this day back again
Would we have done anything different
If we had known
If only we had known
Chorus
But Heaven knew
What was going to happen
The gates were open wide
To welcome thousands
It wasn’t just
Another rainy day
For on the day before it happened
The angels cried
Today is the tenth anniversary of 9/11, and like at school on Friday, it was what most everyone in town was talking about; just as it was the biggest news story of the day pretty much throughout the world. Pastor Lewis talked about it during his sermon, and the service was a lot like the one on the Memorial Day weekend.
Thankfully, though there were threats made, there were no terrorist attacks this weekend, but it was still a rather somber day. While the world mourns and commemorates the loss of so many lives, I’ll end this short journal entry with my heartfelt prayer for the survivors, and the families and friends of the victims, to have God’s comfort and peace.
