Hope Calls

I’ve been beaten . . . severely,

yet God loves me and

does not bring me to death,

I Love today,

t’is the day given by God;

I rejoice and am glad.

By God’s grace,

I am what I am;

I will be what he allows.

God’s grace is within -

He allows me to work hard,

and shields my spiritual path.

His grace,

a call to hope,

my strength, my salvation, my song!
