"A Hymn of Hope"
(10-13-01)

With the setting of the sun
Knowing the battle is yet to be won
Do not fear but take to heart
That for you I'll do my part.
Though there is great uncertainty
When it's done you will be free.
So hold on now and hold on tight
To all the hope that you'll win this fight.
For in the end when all is done
And your struggle here is won,
With the hope and joy and love
That's been given from above
You will know with certainty divine
That all is well and you'll be fine.
Though now it's hard this burden to own
Know in your heart you're not alone.
And when you want to run and hide
Have no fear, I'm by your side.
Through thick and thin, both high and lowm
I'll be there through both sun and snow,
To ease your load and lift your heart
So that from me you'll never part.
So take my hand and walk with me
And before you know it you will be free!
