Hope has a Name

Is it Wishful Thinking? 
No it is not. 

Is it Maybe? 
No. It is Yes and Amen. 

Is it vague, distant, a vapory mirage?
No. Hope is more solid than the bedrock of this earth 

It’s the One Anchor that holds 
When that dream is lifeless, gone 
Hope is Here And Now 
And it is Yet To Come 

Hope doesn’t play tricks 
Doesn’t toy with our hearts
Doesn’t tease with a promise 
Then laugh and fall apart 

No. Hope is 10,000 Promises made 
And every one fulfilled! 

Hope is The Light that breaks through
And vanquishes the darkness 
It is steady, constant, changeless
It is always pulsing towards us 

Hope is a Baby wrapped in all earth’s longings 
Very God Come To Live With Us 
Hope’s every footstep Calvary-leading
It is Savior crying out from cross 

Hope is Death-Demolishing-Stone-Rolled-Away 
Our wrath-deserving debt fully paid!
Hope is Victorious King coming back to reign
Over all who hope in True Hope’s Name! 

Yes, Hope has a Name 
His Name is Jesus
