'Jo Reyes'



In a world of hate and sadness
In a moment lost in madness
The skies darken in the sunlight
Darkness blinds there is no sight
The spirit dies and is set free
Feel the mercy, we all plea
Pain and sorrow weigh back and forth
East and West, South and North
Lift us up, hear our cries
Give us strength to arise
Reach the heavens, feel the glory
Give us strength, no more worries
Feel the warmth, of His presence
Enter His kingdom, you are home
