A blast from the past. My family in 2009 while visiting Nauvoo, Illinois. |
There is Hope Every Day
Children of mine, here's a song just for you
A song from your mother, I love you, I do.
These are the things that I want you to know
At all times and all of the places you go.
You have a Father in heaven divine.
You were His child, before you were mine.
He knows your name and all you can be,
And loves you a lot, even better than me.
Father sent you here to become just like Him
He knows us all well, and He knew we would sin.
It takes lots of practice to get things just right,
We'd need to be perfect to get back to His light.
We need a perfect body and to not do things wrong.
The way would seem hard, and the journey seem long.
It would be hopeless but we have a brother,
Who loves you more surely than even your mother.
He came and He suffered for every mistake
That all of His brothers and sisters would make.
He did it so we could get better each day.
He did it so we would all know the way.
When you fall down He won't give up on you.
We'll get back to Father through all He did do.
He was resurrected, so you will be too
With a perfect body, a free gift to you.
So when life feels heavy, or you're feeling sad.
When you're feeling broken, or think you are bbad.
When you've lost a loved one, and your heart seems sore.
When you think that you cannot take anymore.
When friends don't seem friendly, and you feel alone,
When you want to just laugh, but it comes out a moan.
Here are the things that I want you to know,
Every time and in all of the places you go.
Chorus:
There is hope every day.
There's a light for your way.
There is love that won't end.
There is a perfect friend.
There is help when you fall.
Father hears when you call.
Jesus came just for you,
And I love you too.
