TO HAVE HOPE IS TO HAVE HIM

Don Moen was awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call from his mother-in-law; a tragic car accident had just occurred.

Don’s sister-in-law, Susan, her husband & their four little boys were on an automobile trip when tragedy struck.

They all were seriously injured & their eight-year-old son was dying from his injuries.

As Don & his wife grieved & poured out their hearts to the Lord, they felt helpless to communicate any hope to Susan & Craig.

Don recalls asking the Lord to help him express hope to the family members.

In a very short time, Don scribbled some lyrics & composed the music for a chorus that, to this day, gives believers a deep sense of hope in the midst of difficult times.

The lyrics read:

“God will make a way,
where there seems to be no way;
He works in ways we cannot see,
He will make a way for me.
He will be my guide,
hold me closely to His side;
With love and strength for each new day,
He will make a way. He will make a way!”

To put it simply, the only way to have hope is to have Him.
