"A hymn of hope" by Gideon Cecil - Contest Entry


A hymn of hope

I hear your footsteps near my door,
I thirst for your love my God on high.
Give me constant hope to live before I die,
I follow your footprints on the seashore.
You are the Christ walking on the sea,
Come into my heart for me to love Thee.
You conquered Newton’s Laws of gravity I see,
You are the Alpha and Omega of eternity.
I see you watching me as I write tonight,
Lead me to thy throne of your divine light
Cleanse my heart from sins and jollity.
Inspire my words to live on for posterity.
Raise me up from death like Lazarus of old,
Your love to me exceeds silver and gold.
