The Invitation Of Hope



The Invitation Of Hope

Hope is an orphan who seeks the suffering
And finds you on purpose to be
The reason to let tears flow
Cleanse the hurt away
And give power to rise up
Breathe the breeze of mercy and kindness
Raise our voices in gratitude
And allow for healing and transformation.

Generosity is a noticed stranger among us
A living vessel of abundance
Given without thought of reward
Ignoring our appearance
Fulfilling needs and feeding you
So you may be whole
Able to embrace you
When no one else does.

Grace is Gods riches at Christ’s expense
A wealth beyond measure or deal
A debt paid to grant us freedom
A real treasure you can inherit
He accepts all you have
In exchange for eternal blessings
And invites you on a journey home
A destination of peace and safety.
