Let Your Hope Flow ~

Let your hope flow,
throughout the season
let the birth of Jesus
be your gleeful reason.
Let the peace He brings,
nestle in your heart
so on others His love
you may too impart.
Let your hope exude,
everywhere you go
let your faith in Jesus
cause your face to glow.
Let your excitement,
over Jesus’ birth
fill you with joy
merriment and mirth.
Let your hope ooze,
let Jesus be the reason
you remain hopeful
thru every season!
~~~~~~~~
Now the God of hope fill
you with all joy and peace
in believing, that ye may
abound in hope, through
the power of the Holy Ghost.

Drop By Drop ~

Drop by drop,
hope drips in . . .
til goose bumps
form on my skin.
Shivers of glory,
tingles of peace
as each droplet
God releases.
Drip by drip,
hope seeps in
til my elation
forms a big grin.
Smiles of bliss,
cheers of delight
with each trickle
my soul it excites
Hope drips in,
drop by drop . . .
causing my heart
with joy to flip-flop!
~~~~~~~~
Now the God of hope
fill you with all joy and
peace in believing, that ye
may abound in hope,
through the power
of the Holy Ghost.

God, My Hope ~
God, my Hope,
my Future, my Home
from Your righteous way
let not my steps roam.
Make straight my way,
be my guiding light
keep me looking upwards
as earthly battles I fight.
God, my Hope,
my Eternity, my Rest
with Your loving mercies
each day my soul bless.
Keep my eyes focused,
on Your saving grace
so that I may for You
finish the faithful race.
God, my Hope,
my Strength, my Power
may my trust in You be . . .
right up to my final hour!

Now the God of hope
fill you with all joy
and peace in believing,
that ye may abound in hope,

If God ~
If for us God has plans,
if He knows our future
why don’t we believe
and trust Him sooner?
If He has for us good things,
if He provides our needs
why don’t we follow Him
regardless of where He leads?
If God gives us joy,
if He fills us with peace
why doesn’t our faith in Him
continue to increase?
If He provides our strength
if He equips us with power
why then does our hope
turn so often sour?
If we trust and believe,
God plans and not our own
to His guidance we’d be . . .
more spiritually prone!
~~~~~~~~
“For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
saith the Lord, thoughts
of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end.
Now the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in believing,
that ye may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Joy Entered The World ~
Joy entered the world,
Truth found its way in
Grace penetrated through
all barrier’s of sin.
Love came down from heaven,
a Father’s Gift revealed
Light infiltrated into hearts
by His stripes they’re now healed.
The Way emergencies,
Jesse’s Branch shoots forth
a Savior materializes
out of a Virgin’s birth.
Peace broke though,
Flesh took on form
God’s Mercy establishes
Salvation’s only platform.
Hope descended,
God’s Favor comes to Rest
Eternal Life in His Son
finally manifests.
Joy entered the world,
a Messiah to all is born
tis why we celebrate . . .
on this CHRISTmas morn!
~~~~~~~
And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory
as of the only begotten
of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.

Onward Pressing ~
When your life,
is but a mess
when bombarded
by all the stress.
Let God have,
the weightiness
so He can take
the heaviness.
When your life,
is upside down
when each day
is a letdown.
Let Jesus take,
your despair
so He can have
all your care.
When your life,
has you stressing
into Jesus keep . . .
onward pressing!
