Adeleke Adeite Poet Verse

My Hope

Thy curse and crown of thorns
Are the bones that back my brains and brawns
The tears and blood you shed
Are my foes’ stumbling stone and my safe shed

Thy words and wonderful works
Are my refuge when the rebel rocks
Thy heart and the arms you spread
Is my resting place when my foes go red

This is the crest of my comfort
The lord is my firm and faithful fort
This is my story and sincere song
Thy arms and alms have made me strong.

Diane Christian May 27, 2009 at 8:24 AM SO WHERE DOES HOPE COME FROM? Psalm 39:7 . . . Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. Psalm 71:5 . . . O Lord, you alone are my hope. I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood. The Lord himself is the source of hope because he determines our future. Amen.
