Drowned by Despair, Saved by Hope



Drowned by Despair, Saved by Hope

Composed by: Angelo Saniel Gomos

On a cold and dark December night,
When people were asleep and humbly in peace,
No trouble was found in sight,
While the wind blew its freezing breeze.

Then all of a sudden, rain came pouring,
Stronger by the second, while the wind started howling.
The trees were uprooted and the houses destroyed,
As the river waters started raging and flooding.

The people were awakened in fright and fear,
Praying for God’s almighty mercy for all to hear.
The disastrous calamity came strikingly unexpected,
Leaving numerous injured and multiple dead.

The people cried their wails of agony,
Hopeless and destroyed, they still kept their morality.
Clinging to God with their faith and loyalty,
In order for them to find light in this major adversity.

The almighty God never fails to listen,
For His love to the faithful always abides.
With ultimate kindness and compassionate mercy,
He sends His omnipotent hand to those who are weary.

In this difficult time, the people learned compassion,
With love for each other and sacrificial cooperation.
Drowned by despair yet saved by hope,
The people gained courage and pious devotion.
