It Might Be Hope (Sara Groves)

You do your work the best that you can
you put one foot in front of the other
life comes in waves and makes it's demands
you hold on as well as your able

You've been here for a long long time

Hope has a way of turning it's face to you
just when you least expect it
you walk in a room
you look out a window
and something there leaves you breathless
you say to yourself
it's been a while since I felt this
but it feels like it might be hope

It's hard to recall what blew out the flame
it's been dark since you can remember
you talk it all through to find it a name
as days go on by without number

You've been here for a long long time

Hope has a way of turning it's face to you
just when you least expect it
you walk in a room
you look out a window
and something there leaves you breathless
you say to yourself
it's been a while since I felt this
but it feels like it might be hope

~~~

I am praying for those moments of hope to arrive today.

I loved this post with video of a lighthouse and especiallly Sara's "It Might Be Hope". Once upon a time in a Federal Prison located in southwest Missouri. A young couple took their 3 month old child into a Christmas Eve Service. Volunteers came in from the community to share a ray of hope with men who for the most part had no hope. Just as 2000 years ago Christ came in to the world to bring hope this little baby in crying during the service brought a moment of tenderness to these men. That baby was Sara.
I was there.
