Plenty of gloom
And so much doom
Makes it hard to cope
But there is hope.

Let the Word soak in
And then it begins
As peace sets in
And we win from within.

For like a surgeon,
Our Lord cuts out
The negative
Removing doubt.

There is certainty
In our story
With calm overflowing;
No more fear or worry.

So celebrate
The victory is done
And we can flourish
Like a watered garden.
