Hope can change this community – v2

The Devil, Satan, may think
he has the upper hand,
sowing seeds of division,
of strife, within this community;
But he has forgotten Christ,
the power of the resurrection,
of salvation, God’s Spirit, alive,
beating within all of us.

If we would sow seeds
of Christ’s forgiveness, of mercy,
if we lived out our faith
without fear or reservation,
Hope can change this community
in my bones I know this,
We must tear down the walls
the hurts that divide us.
