Hope rises
In a time of waiting
Rises in my soul
First with hesitation
Uncertain of its value or its purpose
Shaking its head at its own audacity.
How can hope lift us
When despair weighs us down?
Burdens unrelenting and filled with shadow.
Hope rises
In a time of waiting
Rises in my soul
Now with a steadier loft
Building confidence, acknowledging its value
Though not, perhaps, to the point of enthusiasm.
How can hope lift us
When chaos weighs us down?
Oppressive uncertainty, error, and doubt.
Hope rises
In a time of waiting
Rises in my soul
Finally bold as it soars
Certain of its value and its strength
As despair and chaos plummet to earth.
Yes, hope can lift us
Shaking off the weights that threaten
Ascending into the light of eternity’s promises fulfilled.
