Hope
To remain faithful
To sustain connection
Doubt creeps in hopeful
Eager to distort redemption

The toughest walk
Is the way
Tripped up by desires
Tempted each day

Every Jesus follower knows the pain
Sacrifice, blood shed
Struggling to remain

With each new day the sun will rise
Leading is the catalyst
That may leave us wise

Hope, faith, and love grow strong
Only if we draw close to God

To abide through the dismay
Preserver through
The decay
Find a spark that ignites the flame
It begins to purify
In Jesus name

The seeds are scattered  around the heart
We have to be broken
For the seed to get a start

Looking from the outside things don’t seem clear
Underneath, in the dark
Hope is drawing near

Being made new with the hope of eternity when I die
Seems a greater chance
Leading a legacy questioning why
