A Time For Hope

A time for peace
     a time for war
   A time for darkness
     relentless horror... yet
  
   in its midst, a time for prayer
     A time for Hope
   A time to cleanse our hearts
     of hate-filled tropes

   A time to build a house for God
     to dwell here on earth
   To shine His light in darkest corners
     to usher in the great Rebirth
