HOPE

I stand before You
In utter despair
While my enemies gather
To slander and stare

I feel Your arm
Surrounding me now
I pray for justice
Which eludes me, tho' how?

Hold me close Lord
Protect me I pray
Keep me far from evil
Unto the last day

All that I own
To You I give
Place in me, Your will,
In this life I must live

Give me patient endurance
Thro' all of these trials
My deliverance, You tell me
Will take a short while

Thank You dear Father
For loving me so
And keeping your promise
To not let me go!
