Hope speaks “In the beginning… “ i believe
that every tittle, cross, dot, word is light.
The narrow path - he leads us by the hand.
He did not leave us to misunderstand.

I believe he chose Abraham with his
descendant yield - multitudinous stars.
Many were flawed, as man has many sins.
The line of David, too, from which came Christ.

I believe that he arrived right on time,
new born in Bethlehem, brought to Egypt,
settled in Nazareth - and nothing good
comes out of Nazareth, but someone did!

I believe that he chose twelve men to teach
and reach the lost, but one would be replaced.
Judas, indeed, was lost, but never saved.
He did betray the Son of God with kiss.

I believe Christ suffered and died upon
a curs-ed cross then rose again from grave,
and i believe he was the sacrifice
for the sin of man - the unblemished lamb.

Because of Christ, we can be born again!

And I believe many saw him alive
he walked and talked and ate with them, and then
they saw him rise into the clouds. He left
mankind a promise to return once more.

And I believe his Spirit lives with us
to reach the lost. As tongues of fire rain down
and teach all men, show compassion, and grace.
I believe - Father, Son and Spirit - One!

At end of holy book, he proclaims this:
“Yes, I am coming soon.” and then he says,
Amen! Come Lord Jesus! - and I believe.
I wait for Christ - His open arms of life.
