WITH OPEN ARMS

WITH OPEN ARMS


On the day that we are born,


an angel is assigned


To give us reassurance


we’re always on God’s mind.


Yes! It’s true; we have free will,


which often goes awry,


And when disaster happens,


we always ask God why.


We are not Heaven’s robots –


each has a face and name,


And when things don’t go our ways,


God’s not the one to blame.


The evil that’s among us


results from our free will,


Though innocents will suffer,


God’s love is with us, still.


He weeps for evil’s victims


whose innocence was lost.


He wails for all His children


whose lives had paid the cost.


He hung His head in sorrow,


looking down from Heaven,


Then gathered all His angels


on September eleven.


God ordered all the angels


to stand behind His Gate


And form two lines in Heaven,


then bow their heads and wait.


On His command, Heaven’s gate


was quickly opened wide.


With a Father’s love and outstretched arms,


He welcomed all inside.
