The Day Flight 93's Heros
flew into God's Heavens

Heaven is full of answers to prayers
for which no one ever bothered to ask...
~ Billy Graham ~

...Yet God not only calls but empowers -
although the power may come only as we respond...

As our Heros did on Flight 93, on that fatal day
Sept. 11, 2001

There is no situation so chaotic that God cannot
from that situation, create something that is surpassingly good.  He did it at the Creation. 
He did it at the Cross.  He is doing it today.

Take My Hand

Two thousand one, nine, eleven
Five thousand plus arrive in heaven
As they pass through the gate,
Thousands more appear in wait.

A bearded man with stovepipe hat
Steps forward saying,
"Lets sit, lets chat"
They settle down in seats of clouds.

A man named Martin shouts out proud
"I have a dream!" and once he did
The Newcomer said, "Your dream still lives."

Groups of soldiers in blue and gray,
Others in khaki, and green then say
"We're from Bull Run, Yorktown, the Maine"
The Newcomer said, "You died not in vain."
From a man on sticks one could hear
"The only thing we have to fear...
The Newcomer said, "We know the rest,
trust us sir, we've passed that test."
"Courage doesn't hide in caves
You can't bury freedom, in a grave."

The Newcomers had heard this voice before
A distinct Yankees twang from Hyannisport shores.
A silence fell within the mist...
Somehow the Newcomer knew that this
meant time had come for her to say
What was in the hearts of the five thousand plus that day...

"Back on Earth, we wrote reports,
Watched our children play in sports
Worked our gardens, sang our songs
Went to church and clipped coupons
We smiled, we laughed, we cried, we fought!

Unlike you, great we're not"
The tall man in the stovepipe hat
Stood and said, "don't talk like that!
Look at your country, look and see
You died for freedom, just like me"

Then, before them all appeared a scene
Of rubbled streets and twisted beams
Death, destruction, smoke and dust
And people working just 'cause they must.
Hauling ash, lifting stones,
Knee deep in hell
But not alone!
"Look!
Black man, white man, brown man, yellow man
Side by side helping their fellow man!"
So said Martin, as he watched the scene
"Even from nightmares, can be born a dream."

Down below three firemen raised
The colors high into ashen haze
The soldiers above had seen it before
On Iwo Jima back in '44.

The man on sticks studied everything closely,
Then shared his perceptions
on what he saw mostly...
"I see pain, I see tears, I see sorrow -
but I don't see fear."
"You left behind husbands and wives
Daughters and sons, and so many lives
are suffering now because of this wrong.
But look very closely. 
You're not really gone.
All of those people, even those who've never met you,
all of their lives, they'll never forget you!
Don't you see what has happened?
Don't you see what you've done?
You've brought them together, together as one."

With that the man in the stovepipe hat said
"Take my hand,"
and from there he led
five thousand plus heroes, Newcomers
to heaven on this day,
two thousand one, nine, eleven.

WIND  BENEATH  MY  WINGS
Music & Lyrics by Larry Henley & Jeff Silbar

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You've always been content to let me shine
You've always walked one step behind

I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
And I never once heard you complain

Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything that I'd like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

You might have thought it went unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
That I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything that I'd like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
