lyrics

Schoolhouse Virginia our hearts sink for you
Schoolhouse Virginia a world of eyes weep for you
Broken Virginia what could we say or do
While you weep in Virginia we weep in California too
Tragic Virginia what priceless treasure you lose
They’re weeping down in Georgia
Angels wailing up in heaven for you
Schoolhouse Virginia
God be with you

Take heart take heart Virginia you know we’ll stand by your side
Do rest weary Virginia God sings over you tonight

O wounded children these hands are insufficient to ease your pain
But hear this now people
There’s rest and there is healing in Jesus’ name
Arise sweet Virginia they wait and watch in heaven what next you’ll do
Rebuild sweet Virginia in honor of those precious thirty-two
Broken Virginia
God be with you

Take heart take heart Virginia you know we’ll stand by your side
Do rest weary Virginia God sings over you tonight
Take heart take heart Virginia you know we’ll stand by your side
Rebuild rebuild Virginia God breathe restoration on your
