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
