Hope Oh-Eight
Inflation, deflation, spreading doom
Across the nation.
It’s the credit crunch -
Gonna have to skip lunch,
Tighten your belt,
Cos its gonna be felt in
your pocket.
Don’t mock it.
It’s Hope.
Oh-Eight.
Just great.No surprise in your eyes when you
Hear the lies,
And the mortgage dude
Demands more food,
And the petrol pump’s
Gonna give you a thump in
your pocket.
Don’t mock it.
Hope.
Oh-Eight.
Just great.But there’s a banker in heaven
Working 24/7,
With an interest rate
Of love not hate,
And you’ve gotta keep livin’
And never stop givin’ from
your pocket.
Don’t mock it.
It’s Hope.
Oh-Eight.
He’s Great.Stop livin’ in fear and listen
You’ll hear,
There’s a promise for us,
If you simply just trust,
When the income is shrinkin’
You’ve gotta stop thinkin’
From your pocket.
Don’t mock it.
Hope.
Oh-Eight.
It’s great.Downsizing, compromising, there’s a whole lot
Of good prioritising,
Simply living,
Not binning,
And don’t cut back on
Your giving.
From your pocket.
Don’t mock it.
Hope.
Oh-Eight.
That’s great.Fiona Veitch Smith

Thanks Karen. I wrote it after some Christian worker friends of mine told me their income had gone down hill rapidly because people said they could no longer afford to support them. Also that a charity I do work for occasionally is now in dire financial straits for the same reason.
Have a great Christmas.
Just popped by to say that I’ve been missing your entries. Hope you are well.
God bless.
Hi Endless,
I’ve just been so snowed under with work and family commitments that I haven’t had time to post here. I run another work-related blog that takes up most of my time at the moment. I’m actually well and in a good place with God, just not posting. I really should get going again on it. The garden is well too.
Thanks for the kind words,
Fiona
