Hope Has the Power to Fill our Lives

Hope has the power to fill our lives
Increasingly with joy and happiness

Then, sustained, we know despair cannot last
For we’ve the Holy Spirit that helps us to probe

And as we learn to walk more perfectly
We’ve manifestations through a widened scope
That through prayer we receive directly
Light to pierce any darkness unto new hope

Now- ever do I offer what I have thus learned
To those who would surrender to that which is stark
Ever will I say with love and the deepest concern
Come unto Christ’s path where hope gladdens the heart

For, because of His life and great sacrifice
We have brightness of hope and can be assured
That in the final chapter of our book of life
There’ll be the richest moment ever treasured

Who does soften sorrow
Unto hope on the morrow
Ever it is our Jesus
Whom we’re in need of…
