Hope, though a small glimmer of light
Shines in the crevices of those dreary nights
When we can’t seem to see our way
And question if we can face another day

Hope creates in the background of our thoughts
When we seem so worried and so wrought
Hope eternal is an ever-present gift
No matter where we find life’s rift

For hope’s never-ending power
Helps us to arise in that hour
Where God’s love meets our hearts
To encourage us with a fresh start

We may have never seen
Had hope not intervened and redeemed
Us from the darkness of our minds
Where in hope, faith we truly find

To help us continue on
As hope opened its glimmer to a new dawn.
We were blessed to see
Because He willed it to be.
