Fraught with danger, dark foreboding,
fear is lurking in the wings,
swirling thund’rous winds uplifting,
cosmic forces, shattered things.
Buildings lifted, structures sundered,
lives are broken, swept aside,
God where is your promised presence
when there is no place to hide?
Take us, hold us, mother, fold us
in the harbour of your love,
guide us through this present moment,
quell this torment peaceful dove.
Andrew E Pratt (born 1948)
