Amazing Power of Faith and Hope

II Timothy 4:7 & 8

I fought a good fight finishing our course,
With keeping my faith as I use my force;
Awaits for me is a crown of righteousness,
For my victory over Satan's viciousness;
The righteous judge who is also the Lord,
Be giving you the crown as your reward,
Not just unto myself solely on my own,
Rather all that Christ's love has atone.
There is amazing power in faith and hope,
Helping to endure each day as you cope;
It is a battle every day as you live life,
With all kinds of temptation and strife;
Bombarded from all angles during a day,
Attempting persuasion for you to stray;
At times it can come so heavy laden,
Your shoulders can not stand the burden;
It just is hard to know which way to turn,
Makes you build up with so much concern;
Hope renews your power as you share,
When you are talking to God in prayer.
