Hope

When darkness encroaches
And death overshadows the valley,
Have no fear
For I am with you.
The shadows are lies
And death an illusion.
But take heart
For I’ve torn the veil,
Giving sight to the blind,
Hope to the hurting,
And truth to the deceived.
My mercies are new every morning.
Just as I am the dawn
And the new day,
So am I with you always.
