Orlando, We Can't Forget


Orlando, Florida we are praying with you and for you. Remembering the victims of The Pulse Nightclub and singer Christina Grimmie.

The Peace Angel
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

    Angel of Peace, the hounds of war,
    Unleashed, are all abroad,
    And war's foul trade again is made
         Man's leading aim in life.
    Blood dyes the billow and the sod;
         The very winds are rife
    With tales of slaughter.    Angel, pray,
    What can we do or think or say
    In times like these?
        'Child, think of God!'

    'Before this little speck in space
    Called Earth with light was shod,
    Great chains and tiers of splendid spheres
         Were fashioned by His hand.
    Be thine the part to love and laud,
         Nor seek to understand.
    Go lift thine eyes from death-charged guns
    To one who made a billion suns;
    And trust and wait.
        Child, dwell on God!'
