Embrace Gratitude: Finding Strength in Adversity with Vicky Stefanus' 'Hope'
Lyrics
Although things are not perfect
Acknowledging imperfection in life.
Because of trail or pain
Facing trials and pain without blame.
Continue in Thanksgiving
Continuing to express gratitude.
Do not begin to blame
Avoiding the tendency to blame others.
Even when the times are hard
Persisting through difficult times.
Fierce winds are bound to blow
Accepting that challenges will come.
God is forever able
Believing in God's eternal capability.
Hold on to what you know
Keeping faith in what one already knows.
Imagine life without His love
Reflecting on life devoid of divine love.
Joy would cease to be
Understanding that joy is sustained by love.
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Gratefully acknowledging the gifts of love.
Love imparts to thee
Recognizing the impact of love on one's life.
Move out of "Camp complaining
Moving away from a mindset of constant complaining.
No weapon that is known
Emphasizing the limited power of known earthly weapons.
On earth can yield the power
Highlighting the surpassing power of praise.
Praise can do alone
Stressing the efficacy of praise alone.
Yes, there’ll be good times and yes some will be bad
Acknowledging the presence of both good and bad times.
but Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!
Anticipating a glorious future in Zion without sorrow.
