Dear God, we see IDA

In the gulf, we can see it,  that awful  storm

It's growing  in waters;  that are so warm

The speed's increasing and winds gusts too

Tell us, oh IDA, what will you do?

The picture's frightening;   we are afraid

For it reminds us of another who stayed

Some years ago with death and doom

Katrina came out,  with  open tomb

I pray and plead and pound God's door

Please oh please protect earth's floor

That holds so many inside their place

Louisiana is needing Your help Your grace

The others around her, will also need

Your protection and love ..please intercede

She's so enormous and is  pushing through

IDA is approaching with noisy gloom

We trust you, completely; Oh God of all

And so we kneel and humbly call: 

Protect all peoples who 'll  suffer much

Extend to  them: Your healing touch
