RISING FROM THE ASHES
In Memory of Those Who Lost Their Lives on September 11, 2001

The land of milk and honey
Now flows with blood and tears
The terrorist struck America
Our country was in fear

But rising from the ashes
A new spirit has come alive
For love of God and fellowman
And freedom will never die

Thousands lost their lives that day
Our hearts are filled with pain
It's hard to understand it all
But our loss is Heaven's gain

We shall overcome this evil
The terrorist will someday pay
Do not sleep too soundly
Our soldiers are on their way
