ORIGINAL WOOD SCULPTURE & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

The world is so lost and hopeless, our hearts are filled with pain,

We struggle to survive the stress, we pray to be sustained,

Yet in our darkness there is light, A power source so strong,

That brings a lifeline in the night, to shield us from the wrong,

In times like that we long for hope, we pray for answers too,

But try as much as we may try, there’s nothing we can do,

In times like that we lose our faith, but then it’s needed most,

We need someone to pray for us, we call the Holy Ghost,

When He has granted us such peace, our hearts should overspill,

To share the news with all the world and give them hope to still,

To quiet the unrest they feel, to comfort and give rest,

To tell them of the love of God and how He gave His best,

The waters are abundant now, the Word is needed too,

A troubled world cries out for help, so this is what we do,

We pray for God’s direction now, to tell us what to say,

To lead us and protect us when we turn to Him and pray,

Make us disciples of His Word, in common we will strive,

To fish for men and give them hope, on how they can survive.
