When circumstance presents a test,
Always there is hope!
It really doesn't do much good
To sit around and mope.
How much time and energy
Are lost in gloomy days.
If we set our mind on "go",
A new trail we might blaze!
God might cause our present path
To have an end or change
And set us in a bright new place,
Our lives to rearrange.
Hope will prompt us to have cheer
And always to look up.
It will not leave us in a slump
But is a pleasant "cup".
"I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope."
Psalm 16:8-9 KJV
