hope in His arms

heartache bangs, acid rains
drenching the heart with pain.
fear frustrates, hope disintigrates -
the shattering of a window pane.
emotions race, tear drenched face
staring to the other side of the universe.
bitter pill, bitter chill.
as time slips by it gets worse.

hearts melt, insults delt
even if only from within.
open - close, so many foes.
hopelessness becomes a kin.
tears cried, joys died
from the acid of dissapointment.
lifes torched, minds scorched
some kind of dreaded apointment.

peace here, without fear
in the arms of Jesus Christ.
hope restored, fear floored
His gift to us more than sufficed.
tears He'll wipe, peace will ripe
creating hope and joy inside of You.
hate melt, winds of peace felt
He is here no matter what you go through.
