Seven, Brave Young Lions
By Pearlie Duncan Walker ©
They were all so intelligent . . .young. They had ambition.
For a cause, for our Country ~ they had a mission.
They never knew they’d not come home again
But God took them home to Heavens land.
They will be so missed, this crew of America’s space ship.
There will always be grief, caused from this mishap.
Lord, we know that you know, when a souls time here is up,
But still this Country and loved ones, drink from a bitter cup.
That terrible day up there in the sky, Oh why I ask?
Was what they were doing in space to big a task?
Lord, all the people are so full of questions today,
But we know all things are for Thy Glory, always.
We doubt not Thy choice, of whom you bring on home.
They went in splendor, but so many families feel so alone.
Give them comfort dear Lord . . . one day let them live again,
For the time they will meet up there in Heavens Glory land.
We grieve for all these young people and families tonight.
Seems a band around my heart keeps holding me tight.
But what of family? They lived to have the God given right . . .
To know that Thou art with them, every day and night.
Dedicated to the brave crew of the American space shuttle, Columbia
