[Intro]
Oh Lord, hear our cry, in the midnight hour's call
Touched by the storm, but we still stand tall
[Verse 1]
Dark skies over Ottawa, April’s harsh grace
Homes torn asunder, a quiet, shattered place
Four generations, stories now in the wind
We rise from the ashes, courage begins again
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold our hearts in your gentle hands
Bring light to these darkened lands
Wrap your love around every soul
Make broken hearts whole
[Chorus]
Pray for the battered towns and the fallen trees
For the families lost in the tears and the breeze
Heavenly Father, send your mercy down
Lift us up, break the sorrow’s crown
[Verse 2]
Power out, darkness falls, silence amid the storm
But faith’s flicker glowing, keeps our spirits warm
Hands joined in prayer, voices rise in hope
With your grace, Lord, we learn how to cope
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold our hearts in your gentle hands
Bring light to these darkened lands
Wrap your love around every soul
Make broken hearts whole
[Chorus]
Pray for the battered towns and the fallen trees
For the families lost in the tears and the breeze
Heavenly Father, send your mercy down
Lift us up, break the sorrow’s crown
[Bridge]
Time will heal, but now we pray
For strength on this stuff-filled day
Guided by your endless love
Trusting in the stars above
[Outro]
Oh Lord, hear our plea, through storm and despair
In your mercy, find us there
We stand together, hands in prayer
Ottawa’s hope, beyond repair
