Disappeared

© David P. Wirth 2006

I awoke in my bed

To the screams in the street

All around our city

These voices are haunting me

Looking for my family

But this house is empty

My children can’t be found

What’s happened? A mystery

Running out into the streets

Thousands scream. Loved ones gone

No one knows what’s going on

A mother cries frantically

“My baby! In her crib. Now she’s gone

What’s going on

Chorus

Where’s our loved ones

Where have they gone

One moment they are here

Now they have all disappeared

You use to say He would come

Back for those who receive

This Jesus in their hearts

I refused to believe

Gently you would tell me

All of those who don’t see

Would be left including me

To face their tragedy

And now they’re gone, this is true

I’m all alone-all confused

In this house and without you

Still outside- on and on

Thousands scream- loved ones gone

No one knows- what’s going on

To Chorus

Now I know- all along

You were right and I was wrong

As tears stream down on my face

I repent to my disgrace

Come Jesus I receive

Lord and King forever be

I am yours and you are mine

Take me to my destiny

So I’ll see you very soon

Praise your name-I was lost

Now I’m found-saved by your beloved Son

Still outside, on and on

Thousands scream- loved ones gone

I know why-there’s no need to cry out
