Never forget

Trying to make sense of the world but I have given up
There are situations that remind us that we live in a broken world
We try so hard to understand the reason why people do the things that kill
We are so wrapped up in the questions, that we forget the one with answers

We want to move on but how can we when we’ve lost so many
We long to figure out the motives, but we may never comprehend
We are asking questions, but ignoring the one who holds the answers
We try to forget but some things are forever etched in our minds

We may never forget what happened on that dark day in April in the year 1999
We may never forget what happened the morning of September 11, 2001
We may never forget what happened at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007
We may never forget who has fought for our freedom to make us who we are

We forget the lives that are being aborted
We forget the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross
We forget things that have really drawn this country to God
We forget the people who are living in poverty

Trying to figure out what makes this country great
Trying to unearth answers when we need to look to Calvary to find them
Trying to comprehend what it means to be at peace
Trying to endure the suffering that is sin

May we never forget there is hope for those who believe in Jesus
May we never forget there is justice for the poor
May we never forget there is a place where there are no more tears
May we never forget to seek God while He may be found
