Hope

With You there is always hope.

Not hope like the world gives – 

Wishful thinking, pipe dreams, name it and claim it, 

pennies in fountains –

My hope is built on nothing less than

You, Jesus, and Your righteousness!

You are the namer of stars – You're their creator, too!

You are the freer of slaves.

You are the healer of all sickness.

You are the builder of mansions.

You are the cleanser of all sin.

You are the giver of live.

Why do I worry?

Why do I bother with doubt 

and self pity?

You are my God!

You are my Savior!

You are my Great High Priest!

You are my Friend.
