'Tis Hope

Isaiah 40:31 - But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Romans 12:12 ~ Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

'Tis Hope,

Invisible, yet so strong, 

holding steadfast despite storms, silence, desperation,

every discouragement or uncertainty. 

Wields power, not and never to give up.

Even in dying embers, lights up if there is but a spark.

Finds and trudges on towards that distant light, 

amidst deepest darkness.

No mountain too high, no sea too wide,

to climb, to cross.

'Tis hope,

That keeps us going on.

'Tis hope,

That makes us stay.

'Tis hope,

That lightens up the load. 

'Tis hope,

that the seed, dormant for many years,

once sown, finds life.

Romans 15:13 - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 13:13 - And now these three remain: faith, hope and love
