WITH HOPE AND FAITH IN THE PROMISE

 

Like roaring rivers flowing under

bordering bridges,

Cascading over, under, and around

blocking stones,

So must we be as we continue to

struggle

Along the freedom road to promise

Equanimity:-

 

As we encounter walls of opposition built

With blocks of injustice,

Let us approach them as remnants of

Jericho; 

Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude

and integrity

Of a people with their eyes on the prize, plowing

on to victory:-

 

As the millennial sojourn to true freedom continues,

let’s not be dismayed

By the new tactics of injustice, modern day political deceit

is heaping upon us;

Rather, let us be mindful that we are heirs of hope warriors,

whose faith moved mountains:-

 

Thus, as we continue to plow rows of hope and faith in

our sojourn, 

Watering seedlings of liberation blooming in this new 

day of struggle,

Let us also be mindful that we are the children of the God

of the oppressed;

The children He has promised to come and rule the world

with His justice:-

Like roaring rivers flowing under bordering bridges, Cascading over, under, and around blocking stones, So must we be as we continue to struggle Along the freedom road to promise Equanimity:- As we encounter walls of opposition built With blocks of injustice, Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho; Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude and integrity Of a people with their eyes on the prize, plowing on to victory:- As the millennial sojourn to true freedom continues, let’s not be dismayed By the new tactics of injustice modern day political deceit is heaping upon us; Rather, let us be mindful that we are heirs of hope warriors, whose faith, moved mountains:- Thus, as we continue to plow rows of hope and faith in our sojourn, Watering seedlings of liberation blooming in this new day of struggle, Let us also be mindful that we are the children of the God of the oppressed; The children He has promised to come and rule the world with His justice:-
