in sackcloth, in darkness
alone, in our struggles
so it may seem
needing to reach out
to offer comfort
for another, a neighbor
for someone in need
strength for the journey
in offering comfort
hope for tomorrow
above their sorrows
in the way of community
stronger together
strength for the journey

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.

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.”

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.
