A Blessed Hope
by Barbara Philbrook

Beyond the pain we suffer day by day,
beyond the things over which we pray.

Beyond what we can actually see,
beyond what is happening within you or me.

Beyond what others decide to do,
beyond what we know to be completely true.

Beyond the sorrow tearing at our heart,
beyond who loved us from the start.

Beyond life's apparent severity,
beyond what others say or do belligerently.

Beyond the hurt that's been inflected,
beyond how much we've been restricted.

Beyond our ability to comprehend,
beyond where our imagination can transcend.

Beyond what appears to be,
there is a Savior who's watching over you and me.

Beyond depression's depth and scope,
is for all who will receive it "A Blessed Hope"!
