Garissa

One peaceful night

yet it awaits fate
some days before Easter

Students going their about

not knowing that

soon they would breath their last

Suddenly faced with a gun in their face

Terrorists shouting

"whom do you belong to?"

Are you with us or

with the man of Nazareth called Christ?

The terrorists may think they have won

They wiped out more Christ-followers

and the world is in tears and fears

thinking by shouting allah akhbar 

that they won, and we all now think 

that allah is great. 

Yet in the end Christ will show them

Who truely is greater than allah

Friends, family and loved ones

cried on hearing shots echoing down halls

Angels were singing when 

Christ-followers came Home

in this fateful way

and for the rests of us here on earth

longing to be Home

Yet asking Why

Why do they have to go that horrible way?

Why so rudely ripped away from their loved ones life's?

We can ask books full of questions 

and never have an answer

Simply Lord, we ask

Give your Comfort and Peace

Peace beyond all our understanding

to those who lost loved ones 

Ones that are now with You

May it be etched in our hearts

that they can take away 

all from us, even our earthly lifes, but....

they can never take away our Jesus our Saviour. 

We will be followers of the Nazarene

and follow You Home.
