What are you worshipping?

“Mercy” by Elevation Worship

Her sibling has a disability and requires adult supervision.

On her way back home from dance practice she was walking with her brother and notices a car passing by. She hangs up the phone and notices her little brother was struck by a vehicle. She began screaming for help as others stood by watching helpless. Finally the EMTs arrive on the scene and her parents who she called.
