Dear Jesus

You are my hope 
Nothing more
The world bringing it's story 
Of doom and gloom
Life feeling like it's cheap
Where the only choice is economic fate
Death and depression 

But my hope and firm foundation 
Is the saviour 
Who rose from the dead
Who today still brings life
Accepting us individually 
Who doesn't count statistics 
Spread fear 
Or pigeon hole
You to him are special 
So worth dying for

You are worth more 
Than a tsunami of pandemic
Your not a post code lottery 
Or part of a chain reaction 
You are not a slave
BUT loved 
Adored 
Wanted
Not as a captive or a slave 
But free and alive 

In these times of yet another lockdown
When winter months are stark 
And missing loves ones is hard
Stand firm 
In the one 
Whose only message is love 
The one that is our hope 

Look for the miracles 
In the darkness
Stories that only shine love 
Hope and encouragment 
Spreading joy
Covering the fear
There is still so much good
If only we open our eyes
Trusting in the one 
Who died to bring us life.
