Default Lyrics to Silent Night 9/11


You say you will never forget where you were when you
heard the news, Sept. 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the
110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his
wife to say "Good-Bye." I held his fingers steady as he
dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not
going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go." I was
with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their
children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words
as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell on the 23rd floor when a women cried
out to me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of
your heart for 50 years!" I said "Of course I will show you
the way home - only believe in Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering
to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to
tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and
answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every
prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was
in the very hearts of the believers there. Comforting and
assuring them that their Faith has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, London, everywhere in the world.
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name
- though they did NOT all know Me. Some met me for the
first time on the 100th floor. Some sought me out with their
last breath. Some couldn't hear me calling them through the
smoke and flames, "Come to Me...this way...take my hand."

Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.

But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day - you may not
know why, but I DO.

However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time,
would you have reached for Me? September 11, 2001 was not
the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey
will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now
while I may be found. Then at any moment, you know you
are "ready to go."

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

Remember...I love you.

flwrgrl,
I didn't get the funny part either. I was in NY for a seminar in 1998 and got to tour tower #2. I remember thinking what a terrible fall that would be when I was on the observation deck near the top. What a horrible way to die.
