HOPE


It rose up from the lonely tomb
beckoned by the Risen Son,
to brighten days of frantic darkness
for God’s people everyone.

As the Risen Lord ascended
to meet His Father on His Throne,
the grace became a guiding star
to lead His children home.

The only thing to which we cling
at times, a solitary friend,
a grace and blessing given
our woeful hearts to mend.

For the grace is hope eternal
in His promises and Word,
the light that shines in darkness
and the truth that must be heard.
