HOPE CASTLES
Hope is like a mighty castle raising up to the sky
Where our plans like unfurled flags do boldly fly,
And if someone tries to knock it down, don’t worry,
Castles have strong bulwarks, don’t fall in a hurry.

A mighty fortress can be our hope as we choose aright,
As we keep our goals set well in His truth and light,
Hope castles that are built on determination strong
Can stand undaunted for ever, even when things go wrong.

Let our castles of hope be a refuge and a sure strong stay
For those who are floundering and from hope gone astray,
Let God’s standards be seen blowing far in the breeze,
A castle as big and strong as any large forest of trees.

Hope can spring eternal in the hearts of all mankind,
As long as they love the Lord and His path do find,
If we don’t give in to discouragement, do not show
Fear, then our hope castle will always brightly glow.
