Holy Week Lyrics

I wrote this song unknowingly for Holy week. Only after writing, did I realize that the words fit perfectly. I was sitting on my back porch, trying to write something. It was sunny. I love sunny days, but I couldn't think of anything to write about sunny days. So I thought, if it was stormy and cloudy, what would I write? I would write about hope.

Today was cold and dreary

Tomorrow too it seems

But the rain that falls today

Brings the flowers of tomorrow

Fear is a mighty force

It can kill

Hope is stronger still

It will live

The papers on the table

Herald a coming death

In the the throes of lustful sin

Nothing good seems to happen

Fear is a mighty force

It has killed

His cries were forsaken

Waiting for the wrath to come

And from the holes of hell

A new hope springs forth

Sin is a mighty force

It will kill

But love is stronger still

It will live

Love will win

Today was cold and dreary

Tomorrow too it seems

But the Rain that falls today

Brings the flowers of tomorrow

Fear is a mighty force

It will kill

But hope is stronger still

It will live

Sometimes, we cannot see the end of our suffering. Have hope. Love has won. Sin is in the death throes.

Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” (Matthew 28:10 NIV)
