Jenna Logan Poet Lyric

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

Sean Kelly September 14, 2020 at 5:07 AM 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
