we have hope in this darkness

 we have hope in this darkness



We have hope in this darkness

in this time of struggle;

We have the promise of heaven,

eternity, at the end of this life.



We have joy in our struggle

for our God is with us;

God leads, abides with us,

God calls us home.



There is love in the offer

in the coming of Jesus;

We have life in abundance,

now, and in heaven above.



We have peace on the journey

in this time of struggle;

We have the certainty God’s promises

will be fulfilled.

a woman of noble character – v2

a woman of noble character,
attributes of perfection,
a goal unattainable
not a measuring stick

instructive words for striving,
for seeking after God,
a spiritual yearning
to walk humbly with God

a calling to be industrious,
to be wise in our dealings,
a hope for peace, prosperity
to care for our neighbors

like a blow of an ax – v2

lies are like a blow of an ax
a gash of a sword
piercing us like an arrow
ripping us apart.

lies are a cancer
a disease flowing through us
lies are an open wound
that will not heal.

Lies are like a poison
like acid poured upon us
infecting our bodies
sowing pain, causing death.
