Is There Hope

Is there hope when it’s hopeless?
Is there peace when it’s wild?
Is there love when I’m hated?
Is there joy when reviled?

Can I find what I’ve longed for?
Can I ever succeed?
Yes, most certainly, always, 
If to Jesus I plead!


“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1:3
