The lyrics below were went to me by a fellow follower of the Way who is well read, intellgent, thoughtful, gracious and growing in Holiness. He is a saint of God. He is making disciples and is seeking to love God and love others as he loves himself. Thanks for sending this my way. THANKS.
If this is not the place where tears are
understood,
Then where shall I go to
cry?
And if this is not the place where
my spirit can take wings,
Then where
shall I go to fly?
I don’t need another place for trying to impress
you
With just how good and virtuous I am,
no, no, no.
I don’t need another place for
always being on top of things
Everybody
knows that it’s a sham.
I don’t need
another place for always wearing smiles
Even though that’s not the way I feel.
I
don’t need another place to mouth the same old platitudes
Everybody knows that it’s not real.
So if this is not a
place where my questions can be asked.
Then where shall I go to seek?
And if
this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard,
Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak?
So if this is not a
place where tears are understood,
Where
shall I go, where shall I go to fly?
If This Is Not a
Place, song by Ken Medema

Hope: To desire something with some confidence of fulfillment. A desire supported by some confidence in its fulfillment. A ground for expectation. To look forward. Expectation. Confidence. Anticipation. "Be joyful in hope..." Romans 12:12 "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 "..my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:5b
