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.
As England decides to catch up with the rest of the UK. A prospect of lockdown in dark autumn to winter nights seems gloomy.
Concern for nurses and carers. Only able to see parents from a distance. Unemployment at an all time low. We need hope to breakthrough.
It’s time to start thinking outside the box. Showing love and compassion creatively. To stop thinking about problems in a worldly way, but in a supernatural way.
Leave the science to the scientists. Let’s tackle what we can. Showing love to neighbours. Buying extra food for foodbanks if we are able to. Having a clear out, will things we no longer use be a help to others?
We can still plan Christmas, just not in the same way. Write and post cards to let others people know you are thinking of them. Reflect what Christmas means to you. Open your heart to a baby boy and see what emotions arise.
We are created imaginatively, by a creative God. Let God show us ways to support each other in new imaginative ways. Let us stand firm on our rock, unshakable in Christ
