People ask, "Where was your God that day?"
Why didn't he keep these evil men away?"
My answer may seem simple to you:
God was right there, he had a lot to do!

First, he kept many from getting on board.
The possible passenger number, known to the Lord,
Was not two hundred sixty-six, but one mille
The enemy was trying hard to kill?

None of the passengers screamed in fear
Surely they realized, "The Lord is here."
Those speaking on cell phones did not say
"Everyone here is in fear and dismay."

God gave those god-fearing men on the flight
The strength to overlook their plight
And risk their all to save many on the ground...
While they knew they were heaven-bound.

God was busy to put obstacles in the way
Of the employees of the WTC that day
Less than half the work force was in their place
Or the tragedy would have a much grimmer face.

Fifty Thousand, not twenty could have been there
God kept many busy doing something elsewhere
His mighty hand kept the towers suspended
Until the exodus of two-thirds of the people ended.

Don't ask me where God was that day-
I know He was there and did thing His way.
What bothers me is the question I hear in my head
"Is it my fault and your fault so many are dead?"

Just maybe, if we had lived a true Christian life
God would not have allowed the war and strife
To come to our shores to kill and maim
Our disobedience caused it - that's our shame!
