Where do we find peace
where is our strength
in times of trials, sorrow
when depression grips us
alone, in the darkness
where is our courage,
our boldness, to pray
To share these words,
to believe as he did
in times of sorrow
to trust in the Lord
Habakkuk’s prayer
for himself, within,
for a people, a nation
not for each one alone
held for a blessing;
the spark within us
speaking to each other
We find hope in community
in communion with God
to rise from our sorrows
to climb the mountain

Habakkuk
3:17-19 (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk+3%3A17-19&version=NIV
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud

though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The
Sovereign Lord is my
strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.”
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

Habakkuk
3:17-19 (rewritten by me)
17 Though the mills may be shuttered
and the forests are
empty,
though the fields do
not provide
their bounty, their
harvest,
though the young are
departing
for greener pastures,
18 yet I rejoice in my God
I will be joyful in
Christ my Savior.
19 The Creator of the universe is my rock
I am like the deer, its
hooves
steady on the Mountain.
