Hope

To read the true story this poem is based on click here.
~
Mary and Martha
Their hope did not come
When they wanted Him to come
They were grieving and broken
~
Jesus disappointed them
He did not come when they called
He did come with a surprise
With power and love
~
He came to them right on time
To teach them new things of God
They knew He was their good friend
They knew He was God
~
“Your brother will rise to life”
His presence revealed this truth
He wept when He saw Mary
He knew her name well
~
Yes, He knows your name
He also weeps for you now
He knows your story and your grief
He is here for you
~
He asked for Mary
She heard Martha whispering
“The teacher is calling you”
To come and see Him
~
He is calling you
Do you hear His whispering
His voice can be heard
Use both heart and mind
And focus on His story
~
