Hope

"Hope"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

His Word, That's What Makes me strong
His Love, It Protects me from all things wrong
His Glory, It's All That Concerns me
His Light, It Guides me on my journey

Only He Can Provide me With Life
Only He Can Protect me from strife
Only He Can Truly Serve As my Judge
Only He Can Heal me of any grudge

Precious is the woman who Births a child
Powerful are the words that inspire a smile
Peacefully is the only way to make it through this world
Prayer Is All That Can Save every boy and girl

Eternal Life Is All That I Seek
Enemies, I refuse to let them make me weak
Every Life Is To Be Held Dear
Everything we see is Because Of Him, I just want to make that clear
