Song of Hope

Reaching for tomorrow and wanting for today

My life was filled with sorrow from foolish games I’d played.

Then I traced the lines that I had drawn, those lasting memories

And the pictures told a story of how much you mean to me!

Like a rainbow exploding up in the sky You mingled hope with the rain.

you color my mind with pictures And you wiped away my disquise

Now sometime your love for me floods my heart And sometimes it floods my eyes.

You promised me tomorrow You’ve given me today

You took away my sorrow And gave me a better way.

Now I’ve found something that I can cling to-The Rock of Eternity

Now everything I am Is what you’ve given to me!
