Hope For The Future

Today we face the trying times

Of heartache and pain.

Many hopes and dreams are shattered

And prayers seem to be in vain.

With the hope of peace diminishing

The heart has no definitive song

We've waited for an end to the hostilities.

But the struggle seems so long.

Yet- there is hope for the future

Liberty and freedom are still in command

But God will make the ultimate decisions

He will evaluate our worldly demands

And he holds the future in his grasp

Why should we despair?

He mourns and counts every tear

And he hears and reviews every prayer.
