Continual Hope

But I will hope continually

and will praise you yet more and more.

Psalm 71:14

Feeling sad in the twilight

I’m just trying to cope

I look for some comfort

I long for some hope

I’m trying to reach out

with mixed emotions I grope

needing more than these feelings

I’m reaching for hope

Others may notice

how I’m sad and I mope

yet come short of full comfort

I need much greater hope

Looking to Jesus

I do more than just cope

I find a Savior Who suffered

to bring continuous hope

Not alone in my suffering

I now climb up this slope

strengthened in His mercy

by my continual hope

Timing is perfect

for at the end of my rope

is One who holds me forever

in His continual hope

I will praise the God of all comfort

eternity is the width of His scope

there is healing purpose now in me

I prosper with His continual hope
