“Hope In Him”

I have a guest blogger for today. Her name is Marie Fitts and she has a brilliant talent with poetry. This poem was penned by a little southern belle I am honored to call friend. I have been pulling up some roots that have gone a little too deep in my heart and this poem just spoke to my heart and brought a simplicity to life when it can feel so overwhelming.

“Hope In Him”
– Marie H. Fitts

Oh for eyes to see a future
That is not yet realized
A vision in the distance
Where clearly love transpires

Oh for patience to allow The Lord
To work it all out in His time

Until tomorrow rests in today
And I can clearly see my way
I will trust only in Jesus name
And put my Hope In Him

When troubles come and I can’t see
Beyond the road in front of me
When I am scared and all alone
A wayward heart without a home

I pray for faith just to believe
In promises made for you and me
Trusting not in what is seen
But put my Hope In Him

For solid faith in all He said
In all the words printed in red

For what is living without Hope
Of a brighter day to come
And what is faith without trusting
In our Savior’s Love

Until tomorrow rests in today
Until I clearly see my way
I will trust only in Jesus name
And put my Hope In Him
