As I heard the news my heart fell down
Such sadness filled my soul
How hatred and sin can hurt a town
While darkness takes control
As I heard the story unfold today
I cried to think of such loss
Of children gathered in Jesus’ arms
And the pain and sorrow it cost.
As I heard I wept for all the Moms and Dads
Who, with gifts under the tree for a child
Who have entered into heaven’s gates
And saw Jesus’ face and loving smile
It made me hold my children tighter
As I treasure their embrace
My prayers go out to those parent’s lives
For there are tears today on Jesus’ face.
Such sin and shame is brought to mind
Such sorrow breaks our light
As I heard the news my heart fell down
The dawn comes after the night.
