Hope

Hope Hope is calling God And getting the voicemail back- - He’s not here at the moment But he’ll get back to you Hope is calling God again And again getting the voicemail back – - He’s not here at the moment But he’ll get back to you The voicemail is a male voice – A priest’s voice - How does he know about God’s whereabouts And his availability? I only hope he’s right. I only hope…… Despair is giving up, Never reaching God, Going no further than the voicemail And saying – there’s nothing more. I’ve called too many times – He wasn’t in - He isn’t in - He won’t be in. Hope is hoping That God will get back to me That He’ll remember all those calls When I couldn’t get through When the voicemail tried to soothe me Hope is hoping That God will never answer the phone And say - Thank you for calling. Please hold the line……. Hope is hoping That God will answer the phone And say - Here I am. Is everything OK?
