5-6 <\/sup>God, the one and only\u2014 I\u2019ll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from Him, so why not? He\u2019s solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle: I\u2019m set for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope is our anchor in the midst of a storm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
