God's Rope of Hope
by Linda J. Stevenson
If you're drowning in a sea of madness,
Grief's waves engulf and pull you down,
When you feel you're about to go under,
Keep treading--take a look around.
Dangling down from heaven's watchful guardhouse,
God's rope of hope extends to reach
And lift you up out of troubled waters
To restore rest on peaceful beach.
Often we venture to water's deep depths
To find we're way out o'er our heads;
And just as we think we're going under,
We grasp God's rope of hope instead.
He will not let you drown-He has promised;
He'll rescue, restore peace again.
When life's engulfing seas overwhelm us,
That is when God's mercy begins.
Look up, for God awaits to redeem you;
His love will buoy and engird.
He will never leave you, nor forsake you;
Cling to the promise of His word.
