Affirming Faith
My hope is built on nothing less                                    HWB 343

People who do not hold tightly to things are happy
      because all of God’s kingdom is theirs.
People who are gentle with the earth
      will see it blossom forever.
People who can cry for all the world’s suffering
      will live to see happiness.
People who hunger and thirst for what is right
      will finally have their fill.
People who really care
      will find love wherever they go.
People who don’t let the world get them down
      will see God.
People who make peace happen
      are God’s children.
People who give up their own comfort so others can be helped
      know what heaven is all about.
Lord, let us be like these!  AMEN
