hold on, hold on to hope – though nothing else remains – though no signs point the way

keep your heart from harm, and believe the light will come – don’t give in to despair

all is gone but hope, hold on – nothing else remains, hope alone sustains

the dream, the promise, real only in your heart –

hold on, don’t let go – when God will act, we do not know

hold on to hope, be ready the promise to receive

hold on to hope, when there’s no reason to believe

hold on to hope, God’s promise to receive

the silence loud, the darkness deep, now’s when hope your heart must keep – from breaking, burdened with the pain – let instead His Presence reign

hold on to hope, never ceasing prayers – hold fast to hope, letting go all cares

Let His perfect love cast out all fears – hold on to hope across the years

hold on to hope, your Deliverer will come – to take you home with Him when everything is done.

hold on to hope, there will be music once again – with joy and laughter, light and love – signaling sorrow’s end

hold on to hope, let hope fill sorrow’s space – hold on to hope, for soon you will see His face.

“You turned my wailing into dancing; You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give You thanks forever.” (Psalm 30:11-12)

“Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:3-4)

“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

holding onto hope, sincerely, Grace Day
