I don’t place my trust in a party, or person of position or rank,
but in One empowered who rules by love.
I don’t look to government to decide my fate,
but to the One who knew me before my birth.
I don’t expect things from one who swears to grant
what I want, or what I need, for my future they cannot know.
I don’t worry what tomorrow brings,
or what I fail to see promised happen today,
for my life is held securely by One
who gave me life, and gives me hope.
