A CUP OF HOPE...

A cup of hope I drank,
To swallow the pills of optimism,
Prescribed by the ultimate physician,
My very own Creator, I call Father Lord.

A cup of hope I drank,
To cure me of the despondency,
And despair that filled my soul back then.
And it certainly did cure me,
Though I couldn't say exactly when.

It cured me of the depression,
I'd lived with for so long,
The cup of hope restored my joy,
Restored my passion for life so strong.

A cup of hope I drank from,
And it relit the candle of hope I bear
It now shines real bright amidst despair.
To no other light can it compare.

A cup of hope,
From which I drank my fill,
The Creator offers endless refills.
To all and any who've lost their way,
Amidst the pain and horrors of today.

The Creator calls on all who dare,
To come and sit at His feet and hear.
To hear how much He loves them so,
To hear directly into their very souls.

The cup of hope I drank from,
Is available to all.
There's no need for intermediaries,
No need for them at all.
He will speak directly into your hearts,
as sure as He did mine.
Whether young, old, ugly or fine,
He cares not a jot, cos He's divine.

So come one, come all, come every one,
Drink from this glorious cup of hope.
The cup filled with hope that'll lighten your soul,
The cup filled with hope of an unending goal.

God truly desires only good for us all,
He loves us so much, no evil to befall.
He desires our presence, our attention and care,
Then He'll reveal himself as much as we can bear.
