HOPE
The “hope” that I take
Is deep seeded,
Planted in my soul,
Watered with hate.
Thorns and Vines
Nothing, but vile,
Disguised with a smile.
Observing his thicket
Watching it grow,
The notorious demon of
Mind control!
The hate that I feel…
It’s fate from this pill.
Thrashing and gnashing
I know this ain’t Gods will.
It grabs and nags only to steal-
What happened to my calm?
What happened to my zeal?
The questions are endless.
The Answers ambiguous.
God, where are you in this?
Scripture tells me you can’t hide.
That you’ll never leave my side.
That I'm never alone,
When alone, is all I feel inside.
No, I wont be left alone to die.
God, only you can lift my spirits High.
Bring me hope,
I'm the one in the sinking boat;
Hands stretched high,
Reaching for the sky,
Lord, I'm not ready to die-
God, if you see fit
Bring my head above water.
You said you love me,
That I am your daughter.
For you, so loved this world,
That you gave your only son,
So that if we believe on Him
Everlasting life is our victory, Its our win!
Look at the magnitude of things
That you’ve done:
Everlasting life - in exchange of your son.
Lord, for me and them,
Your blood was spilled
On a cross,
On a hill,
So that in the end
With your last breath
You could declare,
“It is done.”

And just like that
You died where you’d hung.
God of glory and
God of power!
He rose again
With in that mighty hour.
He folded his napkin
Cuz etiquette was happenin’.
He was telling the world
He is not finished.
He is not done.
He will be back,
To finish what He’d begun.
He rolled the stone away.
A magnificent exit on display;
Confusion and pain
Filled folks on this day.
“Who disturbed my Jesus,
“Who removed Him from the grave?”
He has removed Himself
From that grave.
Did He not tell you He’d rise again some day?
Removing the stone from His cave!
It’s been 3 long days,
Weren’t you listening?
He told you the price He’d pay!
How He’d reign again someday?
Now go!
Share the good news.
Tell the world nobody has to lose!
He is not a God of surprise.
He told you what was truth.
He told you what was lies.
He never hid under any disguise.
What more could He have done?
Open up your eyes!
He told you.
He showed you.
He followed through.
No need to feel morose,
God isn’t through.
This isn’t the end of the story.
You’re going to see Him again in glory.
He is the Alpha and the Omega,
The Beginning and The End.
God says, “Blessed are those
Who wash away their sins.”
Unfortunately, time is running out,
Time is at its end.
The Lord is coming quickly!
I love you, so I have to ask,
Are you ready my friend?
