We Sing a Song of Hope

Vs 1 When life becomes clouded with worries and fears We find ourselves grieving in sorrow and tears Vs 2 The burdens we carry, too heavy a load and shadows surround us down dark winding roads Chorus ~ There's a gift God gives to us with merciful love It's a lambent glow, a light. Hope's threads are of gold meant to mend broken hearts sent from God above It's a lambent glow, a light always burning bright Vs 3 Have faith in God's power To bring peace of mind Be courageous and brave For hope is divined Vs 4 Do not be discouraged Hope conquers despair With blessings upon us God answers our prayer Chorus ~ There's a gift God gives to us with merciful love It's a lambent glow, a light. Hope's threads are of gold meant to mend broken hearts sent from God above It's a lambent glow, a light always burning bright Vs 5 When trouble arises We're wary of harm Remember that hope brings us comfort and calm Chorus ~ There's a gift God gives to us with merciful love It's a lambent glow, a light. Hope's threads are of gold meant to mend broken hearts sent from God above It's a lambent glow, a light always burning bright A lambent glow, our guiding light always burning bright *Lyrics intended to coincide with the melody of 'Chariots of Fire.' ~ A Song of Hope Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Hamilton Posted on July 25th, 2020 ~

Jenna, it's a difficult thing to do -pen lyrics to a well known musical piece , but you certainly nailed this one ! I am also annoyed that you've been trolled by some Knobhead or other here. Don't let "the odd brain-dead-oddball" drag you down. Overall the group are sincere and genuine. BUT there are those whose criticisms exceed their own writing ability , Seán ... Write onnnnn

Yes, I did write it to coincide with Chariots of Fire. I think I'll make a note of that on the bottom. Thanks for mentioning it, and as well for your generous compliments, Jan!
