A word of hope, a word of love,
they come to me from God above.

I write them down. I send them out,
I leave it to God to show you what they are about.

Not every word is for everyone,
I'm thrilled when they are of use to some.

Are you in pain and need the will to go on?
there may be strength for you to draw upon.

Is there doubt plaguing you?
the way to faithfulness could be pointed out too.

Have you a burden that's more than you think you can bear?
assurance of your capabilities is written there.

The words on their own are not important at all,
it is where they cause your thoughts to fall.

They are meant to remind you of a precious truth,
one that we each should have learned in our youth.

That we are helpless on our own,
but there is one who is willing His strength and knowledge to make known.

Waiting to hear you invite Him in,
so the transformations in your life He can begin.

Words to point us each in the right direction,
showing us all we must be under our Father's subjection.
