Jackye Peacock "HOPE" We are not free, we are locked away Living in fear from day to day though we may deserve this for the wrong that we've done We still are people And need help from someone, we need hope; We are a legion, for many we are As many as footprints under the stars There is no light in us, the light has gone out Our world is all darkness, despair, and doubt We need hope: Most of you have never been In the place where we're locked in In the morning light you can see the sun And see it set when the day is done, We need hope; Some of us have never known About god and the love he's shown For how can we know unless we have heard And how can we hear without the great word, We need hope; How beautiful are the feet that come To tell us of this holy one Who loves us so much we're told He gave his life to save our soul, This is hope; Those of us who hear this news And put it in our lives to use Will be ever grateful throughout the years For you gave us the hope and took away our fears.
