Even When by Laurie Glass

EVEN WHEN

By Laurie Glass

Even when I struggle to believe

that anything good awaits,

that I’ll see the light again,

or break free of my chains,

I need to remember

that hope still remains.

Even when I’m in the dark,

don’t know which way to turn,

when troubles plague me,

and life seems so unfair,

even when I can’t see it,

I know hope’s always there.

Even when life’s a question mark,

and the next step is unclear,

I feel frozen in time, and don’t get the answers I seek,

I kneel before the Lord and find hope at his feet.

Even when I feel I’m slipping,

my soul is weary,

my faith seems stale,

and I need to be revived,

I feel consoled in knowing

that hope is still alive.

Even when there are times

that all seems lost,

when I need courage, and find it hard to cope,

I’m so grateful to know

I still have hope.
