If you've got hope, if you've got love, <br />Comfort one another... <br />For this will please the Lord above, <br />Jesus Christ, our Brother... <br /> <br />Though all like sheep have gone astray, <br />Consider what He's done, <br />For He Himself taught us to pray, <br />So that we might be one... <br /> <br />That's why we pray... through smiles, through tears, <br />Through all that life provides. <br />For God is faithful through the years, <br />Through centuries, God guides... <br /> <br />We're not alone by day or night, <br />Lord Jesus never leaves, <br />Because in us He takes delight, <br />He's in the air each breathes... <br /> <br />The same air Jesus breathed on Earth, <br />Still circulates around, <br />It's in each child that's granted birth... <br />Yes, everywhere it's found... <br /> <br />This world awaits the Son of Man, <br />Just like the Bride of Christ... <br />God's prophecies reveal God's plan, <br />As yet unrealised... <br /> <br />Be patient, children of the Lord... <br />Hold fast to faith within, <br />For not one prayer shall be ignored, <br />Therefore, let's not give in... <br /> <br />As long as there are stars above, <br />As long as Israel stands, <br />The world is held by Christ above, <br />Safe in the Saviour's hands... <br /> <br /> <br />(July 2011/Written especially for Voice In The Wilderness)<br /><br />Denis Martindale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/comfort-one-another-2/
