Hope
by: Megan

You are not alone, poor lost soul.
All hope is not gone.
You see only you, but there is so much beyond.
Blinded by the lies,
You know only suffering and emptiness.
It helps to know that you are not alone in this battle,
but there are so many who have overcome and are cheering you on.

Please trust in what you cannot see,
And take the step of faith.
Oh, worn and tired child,
Fall into the arms of He, your Father, who has felt your pain and has
overcome.

Your search ends here,
For you have found the key.
You may now experience love, joy and life abundantly.
Fear not!
For He has chosen you!

He calls you to obedience, so trust His word is true.
You have nothing to lose,
and more than you can imagine to gain.
Trade in the lies for the truth
And in Him (Christ) you will never be the same.
