Waiting for Salvation




Dear Friend,
I pray that God gives you
The courage to endure your pain
For you may not be able to stand by yourself
But His promise is eternal and certain
More certain than the rising sun
More eternal than forever

The horror we see,
May He turn it into faith
That kills every fear in our hearts
For this world, like our lives
Is fragile and temporary
But His Kingdom is the truth
Which is the source of everlasting life

Don’t weep
For there’s nothing to be wept
If only you could see
Beyond your earthly eyes and flesh
How gracefully strong and beautiful
Are the hands that hold us
The hands where our names are carved in
The hands that will take us home
At the end of the journey
