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:-
