Bringing Hope

During the Instep Men's weekend at Cliff College, Calver (situated in the Peak District National Park and the area known as Hope Valley!) in October 2011 I collected these thoughts to reflect our discussions.

Bringing Hope

Whether we have need or greed
Whether we have gout or doubt 
we all need hope

Whether we know drugs or thugs 
Whether we are blind or kind
we all need hope

Whether we sing sweet or off beat
Whether we are old or bold
we all need hope

Whether we have health or ill-health
Whether we have wealth or fear death
we all need hope

Whether we seek work or work to seek
Whether we are retired or work tirelessly
we all need hope

Whether we are a prophet or a puppeteer
Whether we are disconnected or switched on
we all need hope

Whether we are a mentor or need mentoring
Whether we see a messy world or heaven on earth
we all need hope

Lord bring us hope
Spirit bring us strength 
God give us faith

Amen
