"SILENT NIGHT 2001"

Bob Holiday

This song was played on the radio during Christmas.  Few have heard it.

Please be patient for it to down load.

(If it won't down load.  For your information, the back sound is silent night, spoken to the words below)

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on

September 11, 2001

Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say,

"Good-bye."

I held his fingers steady as he dialed.  I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK..I am ready to go."

I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children.

I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.

I was at the base of the building with the priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls.  I took him home to tend to his flock in Heaven.  He heard my voice....and answered.

I was in Texas, Kansas, London.  I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.  Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face.  I knew every name - though not all know Me.  Some met me for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.

But I was there.

I did not place you in the tower that day.  You may not know why, but I do.  However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

Remember...I love you.

I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
