The Tunnel of Hope - a prayer

The tunnel of hope awaits you

But before you enter here

Pause a while and leave behind

Your worries and your fear

Close your eyes at your first step

The open them and see

Colours bright and beautiful

Glow there for you and me

Each colour of a different hue

Is a blessing on your life

The love of God is there for you

When life is filled with strife

As you walk this Arch of Hope

Open up your heart

Let God hold you in His hand

Know, he never will depart

Think of just one colour bright

As you leave this place

Think of it when feeling low

And know God's love and grace

So remember as you go through life

The Arch of colours true

Each one a special blessing,

God's special gift to you
