LORD
I know that hope is an END
For nothing is beyond HOPE
Hope means all that exist have perished,
For nothing exist after all have fadeth
Though it be so,
Thou art the UNPERISHABLE EXISTANCE
The BEGINNING of all being
The FINAL of all that has been and all that will be
LORD,
Although there is something to be hoped for,
It finds no term to prevail
Further to its dismay,
the present will disappear on the day that will never come
And hope comes to nought
To this extent I inquire:
Could any one find true hope?
OH, MERCIFUL ONE,
When everything is said and done,
YOU are that HOPE
The everlasting arms that upholds those who rely upon YOU
For there is refuge, peace and favor in the HOPE that I find in YOU
The answer in times of need
The strength that frees from burden
To the last of my journey of HOPE after all disappear
YOU are my everlasting HOPE …..
Dear GOD,
My prayer to YOU
“Uphold me according to thy promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!” (Psalm 119:116 RSV)
The LORD is my HOPE
The ONE and ONLY HOPE
To those who seek for hope!
