Hope

Hopes Take my hand and follow me There’s a new world ahead for us to see Don’t look back keep straight ahead Stay close to each other, you’ll feel no dread. If you only do but trust in He The one called ‘King of Eternity’ You can live for the time no more tears will be shed ‘cept tears of joy at the return of the dead. In that world where no evil lurks The eyes of the blind will admire his works The ears of the deaf will hear the birds sing The voice of the mute will praise our great king The legs of a cripple will race with a cheetah A motherless child will run to meet her The fatherless boy will take his hand Blessed are the meek who inherit this land. No one will weep in hunger, No one will cry in pain. No sounds of gunfire No dropping of bombs Will ever be heard of again. No threat of violence No fear of death To shatter your peace apart But the peace of god that excels all thought Will fill your mind and your heart. Do you believe this is true? Can you see me and you? He offers it us, you can take it! Just listen to him And never give in Together I’m sure we can make it! A.Jarvis October 1994
