Hope & Love Reign

Today I cry

Today I pray

Today I feel

My heart in pain

Today my flag bleeds

Today my flag

Is frayed to tatters

 

Let\'s hoist the flag

Long may it wave

The storm thought it

Brought destruction,

Grief and much pain

We soon found out

Hope & love reign

 

They’re not gone;

Our people have

lost their homes,

possessions too,

And for our people

Many sacrificed

Their lives, but when

 

The flag is hoisted,

And they see it

waving, they think

of Puerto Rico

Restored again;

It ‘ill not be

the same after

  

This hurricane;

They’ll be stronger,

They’ll rebuild

They’ll be more

Alive than ever before

Their hope is to

Rebuild their lives,

 

Their hope is the

Promise after the storm.

Their hope whispers

great things to come,

It leads gently

Through pain, through suffering.

It’s God’s grace,

 

It’s the beauty

In people’s hearts,

It’s the neighborly

sweetness, kindness,

The light at the

End of the tunnel.

Yes, their hope is

Their strength, their faith;

 

Their land split open,

Their eyes looking up

Though the country

Is in ruins, their hope fights

The mud, the water,

Hands dirty, sweat, tears

On their faces.

 

Hope stands with them

Amid despair.

Hope covered in scars,

Hope laughs again

They’ll not give up,

Hope gets them up,

Again, again, again.
