"A New Hope" Reading

Shared at Pekin Bible Church after VTech shootings.


“A New Hope”

by Five Iron Frenzy

Amy's going back to school today
Elation, jubilation beams from her face
Did the halls smell of gunpowder still
What made the human mind dark enough to kill?


A new hope
Where is your freedom?
A new hope
Cast off your burdens


A darker world lies behind this one
Cryptic it hides beneath perception
We all saw it on that day
Stunned we stood stuttering
What did the news say

A new hope
Where is your freedom?
A new hope
Cast off your burdens


Peace floods us
By hope we steer
Our dark hearts salvaged
We live without fear

A new hope
Where there is freedom

“Find rest oh my soul in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” (Psalm 62:5-6)
A new hope
Cast off your burdens

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
