Tears for Matthew Shepherd, prayers for Columbine,
For children lost at Sandy Hook, Orlando's forty-nine.
I turned it off, it's my defense,
I'd started to feel numb,
But now the truth comes marching back,
What have we become?

My Lord, who will save us now?
I want to try, Lord, but I don't know how!
How can we try to ease the sorrow,
If somebody else will die tomorrow?
My Lord, who will save us now?

From Amadou to Ferguson,
To Tamir and Trayvon
and Freddy, Eric, Alton,
(God, the list goes on and on)

We pray, God, please be merciful.
We beg You to be fair.
But it's not Your job, it's ours to stop,
And who'll be left to care?

My Lord, who will save us now?
I want to try, Lord, but I don't know how!
How can the hatred not affect us
When some who would serve do not protect us?

My Lord,
Why, Lord?
Dear Lord!
I need You to hear, Lord!
I'll try, Lord!
I don't want to die, Lord!
My Lord, who will save us now?
