Hope and Faith Lives On

Psalm 32:7

God is my hiding place in times of trouble,
Songs of deliverance amongst the rubble;
There is no power on earth to turn hate,
Into a future that's full of hope and faith;
With God beside you nothing is impossible,
He is the reason for life being tolerable;
The world is filled with chaos and distrust,
Appears that happiness is building up rust;
With the stress and anxiety ready to set in,
Feeling so tempted in going astray into sin;
Faith and trust seem to fly out the window,
Thinking of joy and peace just an innuendo;
Before we know it we're at our wit's end,
Up the creek without a paddle and no friend;
Never even thought of being on your own,
For being with God you will never be alone;
Jesus as a friend being your most trusted,
To keep you from lust and getting disgusted;
Life gets overwhelming in times of stress,
Pray to God to cast away and He will bless.
