1/26 Day 7

Gina:

Hello all, well it here it is our last night in Haiti.  We are happy to be heading home, but saddened to leave ours friends, our brothers and sisters. 

Sometime I can’t find the words to say what my heart really feels. This year things are different, the words to the following poem came to me, so I thought I would share them with you.

 

Hope Springs Eternal in Haiti

Hope springs eternal in Haiti from the school kids on the street,

To the taptap’s gospel beat .

Hope springs eternal in Haiti from the mountains high

To the ocean’s side.

Hope springs eternal in Haiti from the Bible’s search

To the funky white Haitian church.

Hope springs eternal in Haiti from the valleys and countryside

To the lakes, streams, and hitches running wide.

Hope springs eternal in Haiti

From the Hearts

The Arts, and

The Marks of grace left by Christ , until all peoples see his face again.

 

Hope, Hope in his face

Hope, Hope in his grace

Hope, Hope in his love

 

Hope springs eternal in Haiti,

When our team gels and fits like a glove.

Hope springs eternal in Haiti,

When we see Christ in a baby’s face.

Hope springs eternal when he uses our talents in this

New and exciting place.

 

Hope springs eternal in Haiti,

When God’s voice is calling.

Hope springs eternal in Haiti,

When God’s love is soaring,

                                 Is pouring,

                                 Is filling,

Our hearts with faith to return to Haiti again.

 

Peace & Blessings,
Joyful Spirit Haiti Team
