Gracious Hope

Gracious hope of sparkling gleam melts frustration anguish dent showing serenity beam... As plight to heaven is sent my heart seeks God by faith's sight trusting His love's endowment… Ending my soul’s angst and fright the Lord grants forgiveness rest toward wondrous freedom flight… Lingering in prayer crest my soul releases guilt pain for gratefulness' praise so blest… Now vanquishing trials' strain spirit of mine conquers doubt claiming Christ's triumphant* gain… Midst Holy Ghost's glory shout gracious hope of sparkling gleam radiates, smiting my pout showing serenity beam. *Psalm 92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
