We all heard the news today, so we took some time to pray for you
Kids who've lost
their moms and dads,
parents lost the children they had too, we pray
for you
Husbands who have lost their wives,
and ladies lost
the men in their lives too
Workers who have lost their friends,
neighbors that we hope to see again too, we pray for you
Chorus
Twin towers we see you standing tall,
though a building's lost our faith will never fall
Twin towers the world hears your call,
though you're gone it only strengthens our resolve
We couldn't make it through this without you Lord,
through hard times we come together more
America the beautiful, we pray for our
leaders too for you
Washington and Adams cry, Freedom & our flag will fly
for you
We'll get through this troubled time, I'll care for yours, you care
for mine too
Let's lock arms and join our hands, young and old we'll take
a stand for you
Chorus
Twin towers we see you standing tall,
though a building's lost our faith will never fall
Pennsylvania and D.C. we hear your call,
through your pain it only strengthens our resolve
We couldn't make it through this without you Lord,
through hard times we come together more
Repeat chorus
For freedom… for freedom…

In memory of all those who perished; the passengers and the
pilots on the United Air and AA flights, the workers in the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon, and all the innocent
bystanders. Our prayers go out to the friends and families of the
deceased.
IF I KNEW
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will always be another day
to say "I love you," and certainly there's
another chance to say our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
