Hope

Last night some friends and I were talking about just how bad our world currently is.  It's awful.  This morning, the lyrics to this song came to mind.  It's "Is He Worthy" by Chris Tomlin

Verse 1:
Do you feel the world is broken?  We do.
Do you feel the shadows deepen?  We do.
Do you know the all the dark won't stop the light from getting through? We do.
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?  We do.

Verse 2:
Is all all creation groaning?  It is.
Is a new creation coming?  It is.
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst?  It is.
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this?  It is.

Chorus:
Is anyone worthy?
Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The lion of Judah, who conquered the grave, 
He is David's root and the lamb who died to ransom the slave.  

Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy of this?
He is.

Verse 3:
Does the Father truly love us?  He does.
Does the Spirit move among us?  He does.
And does Jesus, our Messiah, hold forever those He loves?  He does.
Does our God intend to dwell again with us?  He does.

Chorus:
Is anyone worthy?
Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The lion of Judah, who conquered the grave, 
He is David's root and the lamb who died to ransom the slave.  
 
Bridge:
From every people and tribe, every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom of priests and guides to reign with the Son
Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy?
Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this?
He is
He is

Is He worthy?
Is He worthy?
He is
He is

He is worthy,
He is worthy,
He is.

-----------
Amen.
