IN THE MIDST OF MY MOURNING
~ There is HOPE ~
In the midst of my mourning
You come ~ quietly
To my inner world of
Stillness ~ you know
All of me–more than I’ll
Ever know & You understand my
Painful journey ~ the unrequited desires
The unleashed potentials,
The deep sadness & yet…
Ever the hope that swells within me.
Then I look on Your loving,
Welcoming Face
And sigh a sigh of love & inner calmness
And I remember…those who hope
In Your mercy will not be
Ashamed or disappointed.
Yes, in the midst of my mourning
You come ~ quietly
To soothe my weary soul
To lift my drooping head
To touch my aching heart
And You bring a fresh smile
To my face ~ for You,
In the midst of my mourning…
You bring me fresh HOPE. 6-25-16
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
Psalm 119:116
Uphold me according unto Your word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
