As I’ve been trying to get my heart around this tragedy, I was moved by the Jeremy Camp song “There will be a day,” which echoes the longing in our hearts for restoration by Christ, and also points to the hurt and trials we have here; yet God is with us, even in the bleakest of times. His presence is not in the destruction, but alongside, weeping with those in agony and experiencing tragic loss, angered at injustice, and He will set justice in order in His time. He holds our hand, and he would want us to respond, to feel, and to pray.

Lyrics from the song:

…But I hold on to this hope …
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears | There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always

…Troubled soul don’t lose your heart | Cause joy and peace he brings | And the beauty that’s in store | Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting
