THE INNOCENTS
The fourth volume of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada identified 3,200 deaths of Named Residential School Students. The story continues as more unmarked graves are found.
Their Bones Cry Out.
Lord Jesus you heard the children cry
You saw them weeping
You saw them die
Through the dark night of sin and loss
Your love shines through on the cross
The bones of the children
Their voices raised
Truth is the power
It is truth that saves
Through the dark night of sin and loss
Your love shines through on the cross
When flags are raised of hate today
The lives of innocents are blown away
Through the dark night of sin and loss
Your love shines through on the cross
The world that destroys the innocents
Does not destroy your magnificence
Through the dark night of sin and loss
Your love shines through on the cross
Hatred will never win or control
Peace still reigns within our souls
Through the dark night of sin and loss
Your love shines through on the cross
When the flags of hate are raised
Innocents die in the fire of rage
Through the dark night of sin and loss
Your love shines through on the cross
Dear Lord Jesus, you heard your children cry
You heard their weeping,
You saw them die
Through the dark night of sin and loss
Your love shines through on the cross.
( j.smith/2022)
"A cry was heard in Ramah
Weeping and great mourning
Rachel weeps for her children
Refusing to be comforted
For they are dead."
(Jeremiah 31:15 NLT)
