Live in the Land of Hope

When sadness will not go and you live in the land of despair…

Tears fall in streams of regret leaving pain everywhere…

The hour glass turning over as years come and go

Looking back into the life that once was young, now old…

The web you spun all tangled up from running wild and cold…

Looking for answers even though you were told…

The only life worth living is the one where light unfolds…

Stop your crying, lift up your head now…child, it’s time to come home…

No more hurting or striving for a place to call your own…

Open your eyes and see clearly each moment you’re alive

You’re sent on an assignment and when you finally arrive…

You’ll no longer live in the land of despair…

For Love will meet you there…

The land of Hope will be your home, and peace your sweet reward.

While living in this cursed place, heaven will unfold,

But look toward the eastern sky, for it will testify…

Life begins at the new birth…

For Jesus is, and will always be, all this life is worth…

Looking at the past will only bring you heartache; it’s not the place that lasts…

Living in the here and now, is where you’ll bask, in happiness…

Blessed in knowing Jesus Christ, is all you’ll ever need…

When pain and suffering come to call, and doubts like mountains will not fall…

Trust in God and you will see, He’s all you’ll need…

After all!

Psalm 3:2-6 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) Many say about me, “There is no help for him in God. “Selah

But You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts up my head. I cry aloud to the Lord, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

I lie down and sleep; I wake again because the Lord sustains me. I am not afraid of the thousands of people who have taken their stand against me on every side.
