FRESH FAITH START

Praying, waiting, watching for more than two years
Glimmers of hope here and there temporarily calm our fears
Yet the wrongness of worldliness like a cancer grew
Nothing was going to change no-matter-what
                            --that much we knew--

A mighty tree needs water to live and to grow
And when there's no living water it's time to go
You see, a tree ever reaches for heaven and sows precious seed
Yet the little trees around her were starving and thirsting for God
                              --and so were we--

Now faith is looking forward to what surely will be:
Answers to years of prayers and a mighty revival in all our family!
Finally united for God our family will stand
Standing therefore, praising and singing to God, hand in hand

     It is now in the beginning of a fresh start with our walk with Jesus
     Because He brought us into His kingdom for such a time as this
