Hope

Bruised by night scorned by day love's sweet gift forced out for pay full of shame unclothed, betrayed worthless girl without her trade Beauty known, in dark eyes hidden, Strength untold, this battered woman. For her bondage Love was given; Freedom found in Him arisen. War-torn village rubble strewn scraps of garbage serve for food empty hands hearts for doom feverish death all silence soon In the chaos Peace will rise: No more hunger, no more lies. Emptiness is satisfied; All can be in Him alive. Lonely child walks alone calloused heart eyes of stone family ties never known loveless scars fragile soul See this orphan loved by One, A Father and His only Son. Into His arms of comfort run; New life in family begun.
