I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.

Were There Hope
I was never in a league of noble gentlemen
To whom she'd cast polite and flitting smiles,
Only distant hope and dying dreams for me!
Or perhaps descent into a game of wiles
To give a chance of sipping wine on heady nights
With her angelic presence to declare;
Above, an aura playing out hypnotic hues,
And I in awe of blonde cascades of hair.
But no! my tiring soul is sinking in a mire
To haunt me for an age and evermore, for
How could I expect to hold her silken hand
When I am but a soulless ghost of yore?

Keep The Faith
Hard not to hope
For things that seem
can never be
To realize what is only lies
Quite apart from
what is true
For tis only in the hoping
That hopes can
Be set free
To hope with all your heart…
To seek… and with hopeful
Eyes to see
To realize… hope never dies
Perhaps… is what
one must do
Keep the faith…be not surprised
At What hope has
in store for you

Blessed Anticipation
There’s blessing for all who wait, for the rapture and anticipate,
The soon return of our Lord, with the promise of eternal reward,
If longing, in a heart does burn, for the appearing of His return,
That soul will receive in the end, a crown from Christ, my friend.
And there’s blessing upon earth, not just those of eternal worth,
When we hope for Christ’s return; this in Scripture we also learn,
That all who have this Hope within, will be purified from their sin.
Purified, just as Christ is pure, and my friend, there’s even more.
God helps us to live our life anew, while on the earth in all we do,
As Christ allows us to live for Him, as a Light in this world of sin,
Encouraged on life’s narrow way, knowing He can come any day,
To return for us, at anytime, to take us to, our new home sublime.
Presently He’s our Blessed Hope, in a world, as it’s hard to cope,
With wicked men and their ways, Jesus Christ alone is our praise,
For our Lord shall deliver us, from their darkness, in Christ Jesus,
All of those who are found in Christ, as we enter into Eternal Life.
The instruction by God to all, believers in Christ, by Apostle Paul,
Is to encourage one another, about the joy awaiting every brother,
For we’ll all be changed by grace, to see our Lord’s blessed face,
Lifted to a realm eternally pure, to be with our Savior forevermore.

Comin' For X-Mas?
I got your
Christmas card
And you know
It warms my heart
Just to think of all the cheer
We could share if you were here
I made my
Christmas list
That i'll give
To my boy St.Nick
And I hope he hooks, hooks me up
Cause I plan a special Christmas for us
I was hoping that you might be
Comming for Christmas
I was hoping that surly by New Years eve
I was hoping that you might be comming
And I hope that your bringing something for me
Now we'll chill
Christmas eve
I cant wait
For my moms to leave
We'll snuggle, i'll turn down the lights
And give our gifts if the timing is right
I was hoping that you might be
Comming for Christmas
I was hoping that surly by New Years eve
I was hoping that you might be comming
And I hope that your bringing something for me
For know I will
And I hope that Santa wont be late
Cause I dont want no presents
See im too old for toys
I just want my baby
She's my one and only truly one and only she's my only
I was hoping that you might be
Comming for Christmas
I was hoping that surly by New Years eve
I was hoping that you might be comming
And I hope that your bringing something for me

Never Give Up On Hope
Never give up on hope never give up who knows what tomorrow will bring
Keep on hoping for a happier future for hope is a marvellous thing
Lady luck she may smile on you good things come to those who wait
Who knows in the not distant future you may have cause to celebrate
A first division win in tattslotto or some other unexpected windfall
Life does have it's good and it's hard times and it's good and bad memories to recall
Never give up on hope always keep on hoping your good times for you may be ahead
You cannot hold much hope for the future if hope in you is all but dead
If you succumb to feelings of negativity the universe out there you do tell
That you are happy with the hard life and you accept an earthly hell
Never give up on hope for hope springs eternal the quitter cannot hope to succeed
But if hope in you is ever present it will serve you in your time of need
So never give up on hope tomorrow well may be better and the good times for you may be ahead
You do not have much of a future if hope in you is all but dead.

I Hope God Hears Me
so I always know what to say
I hope God hears me speak
because peace is what I seek
I hope God shows me how to cope
so I don't give up the hope
I hope God will stay with me
so I know what I am to be
I hope God will show me how to stand
and always be with me to hold my hand
I hope God will show me the way
so I won't give up in my day
I hope God will be patient with me
so the comfort I will see
I hope God will show me how not to hide
and always be with me by my side
I hope God will show me how to start
so I carry him in my heart
I hope God will keep me from harms
and be there to hold out his arms
I hope God will show me the love
so I will see the peace of the dove
I hope God will show me the lead
so I will find out my need
I hope God will show me how to turn
because I have so much to learn

Our Hope And Responsibility
Knowing that our salvation is near, within our Hope we needn’t fear,
Nearer than when we first believed, as God’s salvation we received;
So we need to love one another, reaching out to comfort a brother,
Showing all people the Love of Christ, as we anticipate Eternal Life.
With our conversation up in Heaven, we depart from spiritual leaven,
Living with the mind of Christ, while being our Lord’s living sacrifice;
Keep a clear conscience down here, as Christ, our Hope draws near,
Being Christ’s Light to everyone, while pointing others to God’s Son.
With our Hope coming to redeem, our earthly body we should beam,
With His Light and anticipation, for God to complete our redemption;
We are to await the return of Christ, Who’ll take us home to Paradise,
Not to be distracted by the world, for His soon return we’re to herald.
Others in trouble can rest with us, who have our hope in Christ Jesus,
Who will come in the clouds for all, freeing us of the curse of the fall;
Be filled with hope and not ignorant, about redemption God has sent,
Comforting others with words to all, believers, with the words of Paul.
Begotten as the inheritance of God, soon to leave earth’s cursed sod,
To eternally dwell in a Heavenly place, provided by redemptive Grace;
So take God’s Holy Word seriously, while we journey home to eternity,
That we can see many more hearts, raptured as God’s Church departs.

Your Gone
I hope you come
and than smile to me
I hope you come
and than stroking my hair
I hope you hold my chin
and than say 'never cry again'
I hope you hold my hand
and than say 'walk by my side'
'not behind or ahead of me'
but that hope Just a dream
until that sun rise
and I wake up again
and you will gone again
that just a hope
that never be real
because your gone

I Hope for a Day
I hope for a day when people love you for what you are,
whey they are sad they search a friend not a bar.
i hope for a religion that just teaches you love and to forgive hate,
if you want to pray just smile and forget month and date.
i hope for a day when being good is the biggest qualification,
and loving all good and bad the only resolution.
i hope for a day when sun shines and you hear laughther all around you,
and a kid looking up and thinking why is this sky blue?
i hope for a day when maps are clean and earth not broken in countries,
and people finding there home everywhere and not cutting trees.
come close your eyes and hope with me,
pray for humanity and set us free.
you may say i hoping against hope and i am just mad,
i still hope for such a day when god is here, again,
and no one is SAD

Sonnet XXVI: I Ever Love
To Despair
I ever love where never hope appears,
Yet hope draws on my never-hoping care,
And my life's hope would die, but for despair;
My never-certain joy breeds ever-certain fears;
Uncertain dread gives wings unto my hope,
Yet my hope's wings are laden so with fear
As they cannot ascend to my hope's sphere;
Though fear gives them more than a heav'nly scope,
Yet this large room is bounded with despair;
So my love is still fetter'd with vain hope,
And liberty deprives him of his scope,
And thus am I imprison'd in the air.
Then, sweet despair, awhile hold up thy head,
Or all my hope for sorrow will be dead.

Dare I Hope?
Dare I hope to hope?
Is it safe? Is it right?
Am I hoping for nothing
But a black and empty night?
Hope should make me happy.
I should laugh, sing, and dance
Because I am hoping. Right?
Ha! Not a chance.
How is it that hope can leave me
Trembling in the darkness?
How is it that something so “good”
Should leave me feeling helpless?
Dare I hope to hope?
What difference does it make?
Fate will be fate in the end,
It will either “make or break.”
Does Fate regard my hope?
Does She listen? Or care?
Am I shooting for a star that
Simply isn’t there?
I cannot know! Oh, God
Why must I struggle with
This doubt that pulls at me
Rends me, limb from limb?
What sort of hope leaves pain
Where it should instead leave joy?
Is this hope at all? Or perhaps
Some wicked demon’s ploy?
I cannot know! Dear heaven!
How can I even begin to dare
To hope for something – anything?
Is no assurance there?
No promise? No guarantee?
I cannot stand it! I cannot!
The doubt is a plague
In my every thought.
Dare I hope to hope
In a hope that leaves me dry
And lost? How can I dare
To hope in hope? How can I?

What is hope.................
What hope means
Hope is bright shining light which keeps darkness at the bay
Hope is gentle cold breeze on a hot summer day
Hope is to remain positive when going gets tough
hope is seeking more when others think u had enough
What hope means
Hope is dreaming of tommorow
Hope is simmering under sorrow
Hope is sparkles when tears in our eyes
Hope is a beautiful thing & beutiful things never dies
What hope means
Hope is as light as a feather
Hope keeps all of us together
Hope is ubiquitous and free of cost
hope is the last thing ever lost.....

Be Prepared With a Reason
Be prepared in and out of season, to give all men a heartfelt reason,
For all the peace you have within, through the hope you have in Him.
The Hope we have in Jesus Christ, the sure hope of an Eternal Life,
An Eternal Life with Christ our Lord, in Heaven with Him forevermore.
We must point all men to the cross, that place of comfort for the lost,
Where Christ had died for all of us, where all believers put their trust.
Friend, our trust is in The Sacrifice, of God’s Only Son, Jesus Christ,
The Sinless Lamb for sinful men, The Lord who died for all my friend.
Christ gives to believers a New Birth, while we’re still upon this earth,
Upon the moment that we believed, The Holy Spirit we then received.
The Spirit was sent by Jesus Christ, for guiding us in this present life,
To guide us through all the years, until that day when Christ appears.
Friend, all our hope is found in Him, The One who died for all our sin,
And this hope we have my friend, unlike life on earth, shall never end.
When Christ died and rose again, He secured eternal life for all men,
And very soon Believers shall rise, to meet our Lord above the skies.
Friend, our Hope is really a guarantee, that we shall live for Eternity,
The Hope in what we can not see, through Christ will become reality.
And this Hope is for all my friend, for life on this earth is not the end,
Today put your hope in Jesus Christ, and you will inherit Eternal Life.

Hope Full of Certainty
One day I’ll take my last breath, then this earthly body will face death,
My earthly presence will cease to be, that moment I step into Eternity,
My body will be dead, be assured, as I have risen to be with my Lord,
This is the Hope for everyone, who knows as Savior, God’s Own Son.
This is One Hope, full of certainty, a Hope that carries on into Eternity,
A Hope for us with full assurance, and one that has Eternal endurance.
With this Hope death has no sting, as believers know The Eternal King,
Eternal Lord and Creator of all, who came to save us from Adam’s fall.
With this Hope we may not even die, if called to meet Christ in the sky,
If the rapture occurs before, we’re called to enter through death’s door,
For when we hear the trumpet sound, believers shall be Heaven bound,
To meet with God’s Holy crowds, our Lord, Jesus Christ, in the clouds.
This is The Blessed Hope for us, who, in the Savior, have put our trust,
When we accepted His invitation, to Eternal Life, through His Salvation,
God’s only salvation in Jesus Christ, who prepares a place in Paradise,
For all of those who do believe, and who into Heaven, God will receive.
This Blessed Hope, is none other than, The Lord and Savior of all men,
Jesus Christ, now risen and Glorified, soon to return to claim His bride.
And we will return with our King, as He rules and reigns over everything,
This from His Throne, upon this earth, One of everlasting, Eternal worth.

Wishing You A Merry Christmas
I hope that you’re Christmas
Is all you want it to be
I wish there were a chance
That you I could have gotten to see
But I know that won’t happen
You have other things to do
But I wanted you to know
That I am thinking of you
So here’s hoping your Christmas
Is filled with peace, love and joy
Hoping that you got from Santa
That special little toy
I hope your day was joyful
I hope the day was bright
I hope you had had a good time
By the time you go to bed at night

Opening the Acceptance Letter.. Without You.
Hope all is well in your five-bedroom-and-an-office home.
Hope your millionarie money is spent wisely.
Hoping your top-of-the-line-toys are what you always wanted.
Hope the mild east coast weather is what you dreamed of.
Hope your secretary/wife is doing fine.
Hope everything is okay,
But I hope you think of me from time to time.
Fan
It stayed there hanging,
Motionless, airless though.
Rusted, jammed,
Outdated.
It came to live,
Rejoice, enjoy the life.
Life donated by the
donator.
What happened to it?
I hope it relive
the life.
Lets hope so.
Hope! Hope is hoping on hope.
The donated hopes on donator,
Donator hopes on another.
Whom to hope?
How to hope?
Which hope, what hope.
Hope to move,
Hope to enjoy,
Enjoy the joyless joy,
Enjoy the lifeless life,
How to do so.
'You' donator,
Hoping it will hope.
Then take it,
Have it,
Bring in the motion,
Bring in the air.
Air to breath you,
Motion to touch you.
Come on! show it,
Throw it to motionless,
Lifeless, airless one.
Come on.
