7. "Only Hope"

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know You're my only hope

You sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again

When it feels like my dreams are so far
You sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again

And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know You're my only hope

I give You my empathy, I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours, I pray to be only Yours
I know You're my only hope

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy worthy of praise, think about these things." Philippians 4:8

What can we find rest in? What shall we lay our heads upon? Is it in the muck, scandalous things of this world, or on Him, who's worthy of all our praise. Time and time again, God proves sufficient, He proves just in His ways. Our only hope as Christians is John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life". I find myself forgetting this profound verse all the time. I think because I memorized it a such a young age, I told myself that since I'd memorized it, I understood it. But that's so far from the truth! We should never look past/or think we understand this verse! It would almost be better if we don't make children memorize it, so they'll never get past grace. We should be reading it everyday, praying and thanking God for mercifully saving us.

Our only hope is that an all powerful God, might pity us. That He might spare us. So I will lay my head down, and quit worrying, resting in my only hope.
