Scripture  

Romans 5:3–5 (NIV)  

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings,  

because we know that suffering produces perseverance;  

perseverance, character;  

and character, hope.  

And hope does not put us to shame,  

because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts  

through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Refrain  

Hope is rising in me again.

Quote 

Oscar Romero  

“We accomplish in our lifetime only a fraction  

of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work.  

Nothing we do is complete,  

but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker.  

We are prophets of a future not our own.  

This is what we are about:  

We plant the seeds that one day will grow.  

We water seeds already planted,  

knowing that they hold future promise.”
