Written in response to news reports on Hurricane Andrew, I repost it now because it is so relevant to the experiences of those dealing with Katrina and other hurricanes.

Lyrics
1. Wood, glass, and siding were blown everywhere By the force of the hurricane’s wrath Some homes were totaled; others were spared Who could make sense of its path? Neighbors who’d never spoken embraced on their lots And Red Cross volunteers set out coffee and cots Chorus: And in the bars that day was not one drunken man And human nature put on its best face Everyone in the county was lending a hand Oh, the workings of grace, the workings of grace 2. For years, old man Simmons scared kids off his lawn Hardly cracked a smile in his life In front of his wreckage he just said, “She’s gone” Word spread quick that the storm took his wife Arms were wrapped 'round his shoulders by neighbors who cared Yet he felt the most love from the kids who came there Chorus: And in the bars that day was not one drunken man And human nature put on its best face When compassion reigns with a powerful hand Oh, the workings of grace, the workings of grace Instrumental Chorus: And in the bars that day was not one drunken man And human nature put on its best face Sometimes God’s will is done by human hands Oh, the workings of grace, the workings of grace
