Fear and hope,
Emotions gripped,
And pulled contrary ways;
In the middle of the brewing storm,
In the midst of fury’s sway…
Tossed about
And filled with doubt,
All hope would seem but lost;
Small little glimmer in a moment’s relief,
Hope restored in remembered belief.
Hope and fear,
Emotions mixed,
I cling to what is true;
When my mind is staid
On promises kept and love proclaimed,
His grace shall pull me through.
