These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Hope for All Time

Hope's the anchor holding us
in each monstrous gale.
Awful times may shake our trust,
causing warmth to fail.

The One, Who caused this world to start,
has never turned it loose.
Hope in Jesus is the heart
of lasting Truth we choose.

At Christmas, Jesus changed the case
against our misery.
He came to Earth to fully engage
our mortal enemy.

He died upon the cruel cross,
was laid upon a slab,
arose again for His blest cause,
defeating Satan's trap.

This Hope will come, again, quite soon
to right all which is wrong,
and when He does the lasting tune
will be Salvation's song.
