One Hope For All Men

Ever this reaching,
this longing in our hearts,
this yearning we cannot fulfill;

He is ever teaching, 
new life He imparts,
to those who are seeking His Will.

Known long before time,
One Hope for all men,
that we would be whole and made free;

Life paid for our crimes,
death came to an end
that dark day on Calvary’s tree.

When we feel the sense of longing you describe, it really helps to remember how Christ offered his life to save our souls. His sacrifice surely did set us free to pursue a righteous course and receive blessings. Beautiful work, Douglas! I hope your book efforts are a resounding success. Much love, Carolyn
