Hope

Hope is reaching out for God
And knowing He is there;
Hope is searching for release,
And finding it through prayer...

Hope is happiness and joy,
And rainbows in the sky
Hope is feeling God is near
When you begin to cry...

Hope is looking for a dream
That someday will come true;
Hope is waiting on the Lord,
When your days are sad and blue...

Hope is wishing for a star
That will bring you peace and light;
Hope is striving for God's love
To uphold you day and night!
