Some hope in earthly kingdoms
Man builds on sinking sand;
Some hope on borrowed treasures
Which sift through fisted hand.
Some place their trust in others
Whose feet are made of clay;
But they are powerless without
The strength God gives each day.
My hope is placed in hands unseen,
In Christ I rest my trust;
For all on earth that offers hope
Will one day turn to dust.
My eternal hope rests secure
Through all time's earthly tests.
For Christ comes to abide in me;
It's there my soul finds rest.
My trust is placed in Christ alone;
It's here my hope stands sure.
It's sealed and safe from Satan's doom,
A hope that will endure.
"Blessed is he...whose hope is in the Lord his God...the Lord who remains faithful forever" (Ps. 146:5-6).

With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
