A Song of Hope

A song of hope follow the melody of the song Chariots of fire melody starts at 30sec mark Vs 1 With dark days upon us, seems there's no way out Oppression may blind us, to the light all around Vs2 When daylight comes calling, you ignore the call You don't feel like standing, In case you may fall Chorus Please don't give up hope in our God, please don't give up hope The Almighty will help you to cope He'll help us to cope Please don't give up hope in our God, please don't give up hope The Almighty will comfort you, He'll comfort us too Vs3 No matter what ails you, He knows what you need Your best friend will be there, in word and in deed Vs4 And if you have suffered, the loss of loved ones Your heart may be breaking, maybe you feel numb Chorus Please don't give up hope in our God, please don't give up hope The Almighty will help you to cope He'll help us to cope Please don't give up hope in our God, please don't give up hope The Almighty will comfort you, He'll comfort us too Vs 5 It's time to go searching, for comfort from God His words will release you, inspire in you awe Chorus Please don't give up hope in our God, please don't give up hope The Almighty will help you to cope He'll help us to cope Please don't give up hope in our God, please don't give up hope The Almighty will comfort you, He'll comfort us too John Derek Hamilton July11,2020

There has been some really good ones so far, I'm really trying to help poets see it's not so hard to write song lyrics, so that's the purpose of this contest. Thanks for the read and the kind visit!

It's faith that gives us hope and you expressed your feelings beautifully, John. It's nice to read poetry with a positive message. (I haven't been able to write lately -- family health issues.) Hugs, Carolyn
