Written at the Ranch

I want to write you a love song,
I want the earth to know
There is a hope
There is a place to rest your head,
There is a truth.
There is freedom.
There is love, faith, patience, and peace,
There is a creator
Who watches so closely.
There is someone who loves, forgives, and heals.
There is a king who is just,
And a judge who rules.
A friend who sacrifices,
And a father who never leaves,
Someone who listens,
Joy in trials,
And a light in the darkness.
A place with no more suffering,
No more death or tears,
There is a key
To the oppressor's chains,
No more self-righteousness, self-pity, or self-image,
The image of God
The breath of life
The blood of redemption
-There is good news-
It is waiting with open arms,
He is Jesus Christ
